Warm memories are being shared following the passing of a Leitrim man who has been remembered for his “relaxed, friendly and helpful personality.”
Noel Moran of Foxborough, Drumsna died peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, May 2.
He is predeceased by his parents Petey and Annie Moran, and his sister Annie Mulvey. Noel is deeply regretted and forever missed by his wife Ellen, son Mark and daughters Nicola, Tina, and Shona. He will be sadly missed by their partners Linda, Allen (Cox) and Dermot (Foley), his grandsons Ben, Jack and Nathan, and his nephew Nigel.
He will also be fondly remembered by his brothers Sonny and John, sister Mary McLoughlin, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces, neighbours and many loyal friends.
Condolences have been pouring in in remembrance of Noel on RIP.ie. “He was a lovable rogue with a quick wit and great sense of humour, always up to divilment with his old buddies who are really going to miss him and his hearty laugh so much. He was such a great character with a heart of gold and we will all remember him fondly,” one tribute read.
“We have many happy memories of him growing up. He was a character and it was a pleasure knowing him,” another said.
“Noel was a cherished friend of ours, a true gentleman, always obliging and a very witty character. He will be sorely missed by the wider community, one of a kind,” a further tribute read.
The death notice for Noel on RIP.ie further noted that he will be affectionately remembered by all who knew him for his mischievous good humour and passion for fishing and cars.
Noel will be reposing at the Heritage Centre, Chapel of Rest, Carrick-on-Shannon (N41 KP62), today, May 4 from 4pm until 7pm.
Mass of the Resurrection will take place on Tuesday, May 5 at 12pm, in The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Drumsna (N41 D766), followed by burial in Annaduff Cemetery (N41 CF54).
A further tribute for Noel read, “Noel had exceptional talents, which he carried lightly and shared generously. From his days as a young man in the 1960's when he first came within my radar out and about in his super smooth French Simca, to the present, his relaxed, friendly and helpful personality remained unchanged.”
“Noel was just a lovely man with a great wit and infectious laugh. Noel kept many a car of mine on the road and saved them from the dreaded NCT. He was one of the friendliest men around Drumsna and I, like many others, thought the world of him,” another said.
