Noel Glenn Rich

March 21, 1925 — May 21, 2020

Noel Glenn Rich, 95, dedicated son, husband, and father, passed away on Wednesday, May 20, 2020. He joined the United States Navy at the age of 17 during World War II, where he fought in the Pacific Theater for over three years.

Noel is survived by his sons, David and Michael Rich; grandchildren, Justin Rich (Maggie), Helen-Noel Crawley (Casey), Ben Rich (Cynthia), and Lauren Rich; and great-grandchildren, Emily and Vivi.
