Noel is survived by his wife, Eileen; sons Enda and Kevin; daughters, Marian, Carmel and Annette; sister, Maura; grandchildren, relatives and friends. He was educated at Carrowcrory National School and the Vocational School, Ballymote His late father, John Joe, purchased The Traveller's Rest in 1932 and Noel took it over when he married Eileen in 1971. He was a prominent member of the Keash football team in the 1960s. Keash won the Junior Championship in 1961. Noel always retained a keen interest in GAA affairs and was a regular attender at Sligo's games.
