Former first selectman and Connecticut State Representative John Lescoe described Noel as an "impressive figure," while MacFarlane, on her first day as mayor, remarked on his generous and gracious demeanor.[1] Noel was a lifelong member of the Benevolent Order of Elks and collaborated with actor Paul Newman in a number of fund-raising activities in the 1960s.
