A
St. Lucian Who Made his Mark
We
lose great people every day … it
is an inevitable process, that of living
and dying; and all we can ask for is to
be remembered with affection and fondness
when we have passed on – so we live
our lives doing good to our fellow man,
so that we may leave behind a legacy of
love and service to our country and our
people.
George Noon was such a man. He adopted
St. Lucia as his home, built a life and
raised a family here … and in every
way, gave honourable service to the country,
leaving his mark favourably on all who
came into contact with him.
We recognize here his enormous contribution
to our lives, for in every way, he left
St. Lucia a little better for his having
been among us, albeit for a relatively
short while.
We publish here the statement issued by
his family last week:
George Noon’s Passing. (An online
statement from Dominic Noon, son of the
deceased George Noon.)
It is with deep sorrow that the Noon family
announces the passing of the head of our
family, George Alan Noon M.B.E, at 7:10am
on Saturday, 27th February 2010, due to
heart complications. We would like to
thank the medical team at Tapion Hospital,
in particular Romel Daniel, for their
efforts. |

During the various
stages throughout his life Dad was many things
to many people: a husband, father, grand father,
son, brother, friend, mentor, and icon. He
left a mark on every single person he met
and even on some he didn’t. We would
like to thank all of you who have visited,
called and emailed us with your kind words.
It means a great deal to us.
During this week, we will be making preparations
for Dad’s final journey to his vantage
point in the clouds where he will continue
to keep a watchful eye on each and every one
of us. During this time, we might not always
be able to answer the phones or be at home
to accept your heart-felt words, so we have
decided to use this forum to allow you, his
friends, to tell Dad what is in your heart,
in your own words.
We ask that you pass this website address,
www.dominicnoon.com, to other friends who
may wish to do the same. Dad, as well as the
rest of us, would love to hear from you. You
can make it as long or as short as you wish
(condolences, stories, the choice is yours).
I have also put up a photo gallery so that
those of you who have photos of Dad, and would
like to share them.
His Remembrance Service is at 3:00pm on Tuesday
9th March 2010 at the Roman Catholic Cathedral
in Castries, Saint Lucia.
