Oh no. This news just breaks my heart.

I love reading Bro Nobles posts, he was so intelligent and so funny. While I never had the pleasure to meet Noble, I did have the pleasure of buying lumber from him. He was truly a class act all the way.

One thread I remember him the most from was about the women in the Bible. I laughed and laughed at the comments. I will search to find that thread so you all can enjoy his wonderful humor.

God be with you Noble, we will miss you.

I am said to hear Brother Noble is gone. I always enjoyed his posts and knowledge and wisdom. He will be missed by many of us.

When I logged onto the Forum this morning and saw Bro. Noble's picture at the top of the page, I knew exactly what it meant :-\. He will be missed, but our loss is his gain. My prayers are with the family.

Here's a short conversation I had with Noble that cracked me up ...

I am truly sad to hear of your loss.  I never met Brother Noble, but I enjoyed his posts.  A truly outstanding man.  My prayers go out for you and your family.

My heart sank when I saw Brother Noble's picture.  I have met few true gentlemen in my life, Noble was definately one and a good example for us all.

It is good he passed in his sleep and suffered not. 

I will miss his wit and wisdom greatly.

Well, that ruins my day.  Noble and I were special friends. We met personally awt the first pig roast and found ourselves connected at the hip, both shying from large groups.

We spent many evenings sharing email of intimate personal contacts, including a friend he had in South  America, Tom and the "Stupid Cows". I'm really going to miss him a lot.  His passing leaves a hole in my heart. I hope that he is singing with the angels now and telling  them of his friend in Florida.  Life is short and we'll all be back together again soon.

I have a special file of Noble's talks about Tom.  He sure loved his boy

A poem for Brother Noble about cows and life:

The Cows At Night    
by Hayden Carruth
   

The moon was like a full cup tonight,
too heavy, and sank in the mist
soon after dark, leaving for light

faint stars and the silver leaves
of milkweed beside the road,
gleaming before my car.

Yet I like driving at night
in summer and in Vermont:
the brown road through the mist

of mountain-dark, among farms
so quiet, and the roadside willows
opening out where I saw

the cows. Always a shock
to remember them there, those
great breathings close in the dark.

I stopped, and took my flashlight
to the pasture fence. They turned
to me where they lay, sad

and beautiful faces in the dark,
and I counted them–forty
near and far in the pasture,

turning to me, sad and beautiful
like girls very long ago
who were innocent, and sad

because they were innocent,
and beautiful because they were
sad. I switched off my light.

But I did not want to go,
not yet, nor knew what to do
if I should stay, for how

in that great darkness could I explain
anything, anything at all.
I stood by the fence. And then

very gently it began to rain.

Say when

This is sad news.  My thoughts are with his family.  I met Noble several years ago and had an instant liking for the man.  He was the definition of "gentleman".

Thank you David for taking time from your grieving to let us know that your Dad is now with our Good Lord.  He will be missed by us as well.

Please add my thoughts and wishes to the family as well.  Sad day for many people.

I never met the man nor communicated with him personally but I enjoyed his posts and feel I too have lost a friend. My deepest sympathy to the family.

My last IM with Brother Noble was just about a month ago, when he was deciding on a brush saw to work on some area of the back yard to clean up for his wife. Kind of a little park.  :-\

I so enjoyed the couple of days that I "camped" out by his sawmill.  Helped David and Bro Noble bring in a load of logs, took a hike through the pasture and on down by the creek.  His home and family where warm and friendly.  Thank you David for sharing with us.

As so many have already said, there is an empty spot in our world.  I never met Brother Noble in person and yet, as a country boy who grew up around farming and hauled many a can of milk from farms to a cheese factory, I felt a certain kinship.  I will always remember Noble and his "stoopid cows".  He and his family will be in my prayers tonight and days to come.

I have always enjoyed what Bro Noble has put up here, my thoughts are with his family.
So, how did I end up here anyway?
