In Loving Memory of Ken Noble
July 31, 1937 – July 18, 2021
On Sunday, July 18th Ken died peacefully at Peterborough Hospice, surrounded by his loving family.
Born in 1937 to John and Alma (McCrea) Noble, Ken married Joan (Earle) in 1960. After working at a number of jobs, he settled in the role of Building Inspector for the Township of Monmouth. He was a proud owner-operator of school buses for 32 years. Ken befriended many through community events, church, service clubs, the agricultural fair and in many other contexts. Reports that he could chat up and befriend a telephone pole if there was no one else around are mildly exaggerated. Retirement was spent in a home he designed and built himself on Esson Lake. There, he could be found ice fishing in the winter and captaining his pontoon boat in the summer when not enjoying fiddle festivals around the province. Autumn would find him and Joan camping in Algonquin Park and boiling sap in the sugar bush was his beloved springtime occupation. These last few months, Ken and Joan found more friends and good care at Jackson Creek Retirement Residence in Peterborough.
Ken is survived by his wife Joan, his loving sister Doreen, children Brenda (Jim), Tim (Mary Judith) and Terry (Lisa), grandchildren Adam, Gavin, John and Mark, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews and extended family.
Friends are invited to visit the family at the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., 127 Bobcaygeon Road, P.O. Box 427, Minden, K0M 2K0 on Friday, July 23rd, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. until noon. The funeral service will follow at 1:00 p.m. at the funeral home, with interment to follow at Essonville Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, we ask you to consider donations to Peterborough Hospice, Essonville Historic Church or a charity of your choice. The hospice staff earned an enduring place in Ken’s heart and ours in his last days.
