“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it

happened.” – Dr. Seuss

Passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at his

Newport Beach home on Friday, April 24, 2009 from

complications due to pancreatic cancer.

He is survived by his wife, Annie; his brothers and sister,

and Kay and the late George Quinn; his U.S. children,

Derek, Heather, Jeff, Andrea, Andrew, and Wendy. He

was also “Granda” to six special grandsons; Scott, Grant,

Noel” was a favorite of numerous nieces, nephews, and

family in Ireland.

Noel was born December 13, 1939 in Cork, Ireland. He

ran a successful barber shop for over 40 years in Cork. He

moved to Newport Beach, California almost seven years

ago. He loved Opera, gardening, traveling, and a good

chat. Noel was a loving, gentle friend with a quick Irish

wit. Anyone who knew him was better for it.

Carmel Church, 1441 W. Balboa Blvd. in Newport Beach,

California. A funeral mass will be in Ballycotton, Ireland
