Louis J. Noble, 60 died peacefully in his Kenneth City home 9-May-2012. Lou came to the St. Petersburg area with his wife Bonnie after their service in the United States Air Force. Lou and his wife met in the Air Force at a base in Louisiana and later married in England, which led to a wonderful 31 year marriage.
Lou will be missed by many. He was a kind, gentle person who touched many and always had time to listen to others. He had a natural caring way about him and a great sense of humor. When he was out in the community he always ran into folks he knew. He would stop to chat, see how they were doing and wish them well.
Lou had a great love for animals which led to many beautiful pets. Lou kept pictures of his pets with him and loved to share them with folks. Lou always wanted to educate folks about the benefits of all animals and how nice they all are, not just the traditional pets such as dogs and cats. Lou especially loved his possums and Quatty (his bird).
Lou also loved to travel. In the early days Lou traveled roughing it, staying where he could. He loved experiencing other cultures and had the opportunity to do so for many years. He saw many changes in Europe, but always loved going back there to sample all the wonderful food. Many who knew Lou benefited from those travels because he loved to cook. He made very tasty food for his wife and friends.
Lou also had a love for music and photography. Again, many folks have beautiful pictures and tapes Lou made for them. He loved to share his talents with others and they will live with us all and Lou will not be forgotten.
It is hard to put into words a lifetime of little things that made someone the special person to the ones that knew them, but all the small kind things Lou did throughout his life makes everyone say, ‘Everyone Loved Lou’. He will be greatly missed.
A graveside service with military honors will be presented at 2:15 PM on Friday, July 6, 2012 at Bay Pines National Cemetery, 10000 Bay Pines Blvd., Bay Pines, 33744. (727) 398-9426.

Lou you were a kind, gentle, generous wonderful soul to know. You always made me smile when I worked at the St Pete office with you. I will miss you, the world is not as bright without you in it.
Lou will always be remembered as a great friend, neighbor and person. He cared about other people and loved his pets. He could make you laugh is what I will remember about him. He always tried to be helpful and kind to others.
We will always carry his memory with us.
Louie will be sadly missed by his siblings. He was one of five children. Shirley Sloan-Hauss from Pemberton, NJ fondly known as sissy to Lou shared a very close bond as they were the only children up until eleven years later Michael Noble of Valrico, Florida was born followed by myself Linda (Noble)Tomchick of Morrisville, PA and Jeffrey Noble of Tampa, FL. My sister Shirley and I had been to visit Lou a number of times and especially in his last weeks of life when we had the pleasure of taking care of him, something we will always cherish and never forget. Lou is now peacefully with our parents Louis and Norma Noble where we will all be reunited again one day. I wanted to give a special mention to the Purple Team at Hospice, especially Laurie Hobbs who were all so wonderful, compassionate and loving to Louis during his last days on this earth and they should be commended for going above and beyond!!! Love you very much Louie!
My Dearest Brother,
There are no words to describe the Pain in my Heart. When you left you took part of me with you. I already miss the afterwork phone calls on the way home. I still keep my phone near just in case. Linda said it all, our last couple of weeks together were very special. You are out of pain and at rest now and we must carry on without you.
Love you Brother,
Sissy
Dear Lou – You will be sadly missed by us and all the family. We always enjoyed our visits with you and Bonnie and they were always special. We loved you very much and pray that
you are finally at peace with yourself and with
God. Our prayers will always be with you.
We loved you so much…Aunt Petie and Uncle Pat
Lou-you were such a special person. I feel honored to have met you, worked with you and had the pleasure to be your friend. The world is truly missing one of the great ones with you gone. You will be missed.
Lou,
Although I did not know you well, you were a joy to work with. You always were happy and had a great spirit. I wish your family the best and you will be missed!
Truly a wonderful, caring person who made you feel like a life-long friend upon meeting him for the first time with his inviting smile. I loved talking Rays baseball with him, seeing him at Spring Training camp in Port Charlotte. I will call on you when our Rays “boys” get in a clutch to help them out! You put up a long fight my dear friend, now rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bonnie and family.
Lou was not only a neighbor but also a friend. For the last several years I looked after his beloved pets as him and Bonnie would travel the world. He had a funny sense of humor and will truley be missed.
We miss you. We remember the good times we had in Wildwood and fun times in Levittown.
God Bless and we love you.
To my dearest brother Louie,

I was so sorry to hear of Louis’s passing. Although I have not seen Louis in a few years I tried to find out how he doing through his brother Mike. I always will remember Lou for taking Mike and I to my first concert as a kid, we went to see “Electric Light Orchestra”. I remember Louis’s passion for music and for his reel to reel tapes he always had going when I was over their house. Rest in Peace Louis, there is no more suffering now..
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure he was a very special brother. I feel like I knew him from all the family stories I have been told. Lou watch over your sisters…they love you so much…we will always have you in our hearts….
Worldly suffering behind him, I know Lou is at peace, at rest, and surrounded by furry friends aplenty. Bless you, Lou. We shall miss thee.
Our hearts and prayers go with you Lou and your family.We will miss you until we meet again.

Not a day goes by without anyone asking about you, seems that you have touched so many lives. I will also miss you & am so very happy to have known you. Thanks so very much for all the picture memories you have given me. I will not say Good-bye, “I will say” see you again sometime. God’s peace…..
When I went into the bank last week, which I rarely do, I heard about Lou’s death. He and my son were battling cancer at the same time, so we would always talk about the struggle they both were having. Lou was a caring, lovely man, and I was so sorry to hear of his passing. I pray that you will find some comfort in knowing that his fight gave hope to me as I was always amazed at how he kept going even in the face of adversity. You are in my prayers.
Our brother Louis was one of five children and we miss him everyday to bad my comment was deleted probably by his loving wife (NOT)
