Bill Noble has passed

[budawe]

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on the info that we lost Bill Noble last night. The Vee icon, 5 time champion and good friend will be missed.

[Steve Bamford]

Very sorry to hear that.

It sucks to lose a hero...

Bill was more help to me in my first year of racing back in 1986 than he ever knew or could know. For someone of his stature to help and support me at 20 years old meant something.

Godspeed. Condolences to Lisa, daughter Jamie and the rest.

Damn! I've known Bill and family for a number of years. He will be sorely missed in the racing world in general and the FV community specifically. RIP Bill!

A loss to the club, as well as his friends and family. I remember seeing him racing in the runoffs at Atlanta, many years ago. He was always the name that represented Formula Vee in my mind. Sorry to see him go. --jim

Sad day for the Vee folks. I enjoyed meeting and racing against some years back. Never could beat him though. My condolences to the family, he was a good man.

One of the Greats.

Somebody better make sure there are orange valve covers on the casket.

As a naive-wide-eyed-15-year-old in the mid 1990s, I called Bill to inquire about some formula vee questions, as I was in pursuit of a FV to autocross when I turned 16.... He spent some time on a few phone calls with me, telling me what to look for and what not to...

I bought a car in TX (drove from Florida) a few weeks later, and autocrossed it for 2 years based on his advice of what to look for.... I wouldn't be racing if he steered me wrong or didn't help me out.

thanks, Bill!

regards and condolences,

Mike

I met Bill for the first time at the first runoffs I worked at RA in 1972. He was a real gentleman, firm but soft spoken. He will be missed. Long live his legend.

I was lucky, I got to talk with Bill for about 15 minutes at the Runoffs last year. He was pretty sharp but was tired. What a guy & we will all miss him. My prayers for Bill & his family.
