We shared full belly laugh for a solid 20 minutes and then laughed more retelling the story to other people! Only good memories from Coach! And so many of them!❤️

The best teacher anyone could ever ask for. I was the wild kid in school and most of my teachers hated me honestly. But mr.noble was the light to my darkest days. He was always there to help me and give me advice when I needed it. He will forever be in my heart and I hope to see him again one day when it is my time. I’m also here to send my love out to all of his family members as well and I will be here for support and help with anything if needed. -Cody brenwald
