    Samuel Noble When mom took dad home to meet her family my Sicilian grandma said “Theresa....he looks like Satan himself!” Little did she know that a beatnik cat burglar would turn his life around and spend it serving Jehovah God; faithful to his last breath.

    Forrest Noble Many good times shared at his side

    1 May 2010Small Town Coffee Co

    Forrest Noble Dad found great joy in sharing and his generosity knew no bounds. A large portion of his adult life was spent volunteering his time to share his hope about the future. He was known as a student of the Bible and was always weaving scripture into his conversations He would talk to anyone and everyone. I remember him saying “let’s practice talking to people, think you could talk to that guy?” He would make it a game, to just converse. Bikers, beggars or businessmen. Nobody intimidated or couldn’t be won over by Geoff. “ I must just have a trustworthy face” he would say with a shrug and a newly acquired friend.

    Forrest Noble Notice in the attached link how the Bible changed Geoffs life : https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010330?q=geoffrey+noble&p=par

    May 2010Apalachin, NY, United States

    Forrest Noble Dave Rose recalls “The hike we took was from Kent, CT into NY on the Appalachian trail. It was early in May 2010 and we stopped at a Kingdom Hall on our way to the trailhead when the group was meeting for field service to pick up the WT that had just come out that contained the article "How the Bible changes lives". Having that WT with me turned out to be used in an informal witness that was very interesting. Alas, I wish I had gotten some pics of him stuffing his jacket with skunk weed after learning that it had properties that would help his breathing. It looked like it was going to turn into a business venture if it worked.

    17 May 2015Lihue, HI, United States

    Sierra Noble Geoff was a master at the seamless transition between spiritual activities and moving on to the next adventure. Probably because he didn’t let a wardrobe change slow him down. I believe right after this assembly he rode his bike from kokee to Kalihiwai, after a couple days later after camping and riding he arrived still in his dress shirt, program in chest pocket.

    2017Sicily, Italy

    Samuel Noble “Where can I get a good cappuccino?” Was something dad had said at some point and we always joked about that. Well he found one here in Sicily on a trip with my mom. Pinkies up!

    20 Jun 2020Port Angeles, WA, United States

    Forrest Noble 10 months into knowing about his condition , Geoff didnt stop making an impact. He would say how amazed he was by the impact driver at just how many bolts you could drive in so quickly! Earned him one of many nicknames “big impact”

    Samuel N. This was one of his last projects. Glad he got to do it with you.
    Sierra N. Still had to hide the chainsaws from him when we left the house, we didn’t want too much of a big impact.
    16 Jul 202049 Fresh Pond Ln
