In loving memory Harvey J. Noel, born on January 7, 1937, in Rochester, NH, and
peacefully departed on December 5, 2023, in Littleton, MA. A proud graduate of Dover
NH, Class of 1955, he embarked on a dedicated service in the U.S. Navy aboard the
Aircraft Carrier USS Leyte after graduation.
He found lifelong love with his high school sweetheart, Carol Ann Gage, who survives
him. Together, they raised their family in Billerica, MA, before returning to Dover in 1993.
His professional journey included notable contributions at IBM, MIA, Memorex, and as a
partner in Unit Record Service, marking the beginning of his entrepreneurial spirit.
An avid enthusiast, his hobbies ranged from RC planes to clock repair and metal tooling.
His adventurous spirit led him to travel extensively, exploring all 50 states and even
venturing as far as Australia. A man of deep faith, he joined the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints in 1963, actively serving in many capacities and as a temple worker
in the Boston Temple for 15 years.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carol Ann, and leaves behind a legacy through his three
sons: Steve (Janette) of Porter, TX, Kenneth (Debra) of Pepperell, MA, Russ (Teresa) of
Ashburn, VA, and his daughter Nancy. Cherished by 13 grandchildren and 24
great-grandchildren, his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched.
May he rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love and gratitude of a family that will
forever be grateful for his enduring legacy
