Noel is the fourth child who lived his pre-teen years between Queens, New York and Norfolk, Virginia. He relocated back to New York in his early teenage years.
Noel loved to play basketball, chess, and crossword puzzles. He was extremely excited about being a father. When Noel found out he was expecting a son everyone received the call: “I did it, it’s a boy!”. He loved fatherhood. His son Joel was the highlight of his life - his entire world.
