Noel KITCHEN Obituary

So sorry to hear of Noel´s death. It´s been many years since we were neighbours, but I still remember your kindness to us. Noel was such a lovely man and I´ve heard nothing but good about him as a boss and colleague over the years. Thinking of you and a past time in Ruawai Road. And apologies for the delay - an earlier attempt to post didn´t work, it appears....

Bobby and Family,
Very sorry to hear of Noels passing. My first memories of Noel go back to Kiwi Carriers days and then later when I worked for Tom Cook. He was a good straight man a hard worker and enjoyed life during those years.
My thoughts are with you all.

We are O'Connors, Dublin, Ireland. Claire is our daughter-in-law. We sent a condolence message for Noel Kitchen but it hasnt appeared on the condolesence page:

"Bobbie, Claire, Grant and Nigel, we are very sad to hear of Noel's passing RIP. We have very happy memories of our trip to NZ when Claire became our daughter-in-law. Bobbie fussed so much over us, Noel drove us all over NZ and cooked lovely BBQs (aided by Grant). We had such a warm welcome from you all. We are looking back on this happy time now and remembering Noel - you are all in our prayers . Ar dheis De to raibh a anam uasal. Love to you all. Paddy, Mary and family. "

Bobby and family, so sorry to hear about Noel's passing. I really enjoyed my time working with him. Thinking about you all at this really sad time. Cheers, Ivan

Oh Bobbie and family - I'm so sad to hear of Noel's passing. He was always such a lovely kind man and I did enjoy our association all those years ago when I was teaching Grant.
Lots of love to you all at this very sad time.

Deepest sympathy. Thinking of you at this sad time

We are so sorry to hear this news. My dad always spoke highly of his time working with Noel. Our family really liked Mr Kitch. Dad told me yesterday, he was one of the best. "The song is ended but the melody lingers on."

Thinking of the kitchen family may the many happy memories help you through this sad time

Have many happy memories of Noel and riding with him, and his respect and admiration for my late dad Herb. Kevin Mcavoy and the Mcavoy family
