Condolence: As a student at Brass Castle School in the sixties I have many memories of Mr. Noctor. He was a good teacher with a ready laugh, and certainly leaves a legacy in the students he taught over the years. He also gave me my first baby-sitting job, so I was able to see what a joy his family was to him. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

It is evident that Jim lived a full life with his devoted family, and his memory will live on. We will always remember his encouraging words and his wonderful sense of humor. With deepest sympathy,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Condolence: Dear Steve and family, Thank you for sharing these warm and loving memories of your father and your family with us. It is clear that your dad lived a full life and enjoyed raising a lovely family. We have experienced his legacy personally through our friendship with Steve. Our thoughts are with you.

Condolence: Dick Dougherty recently informed me about Jim's passing. Although I can not remember the years, there was a time when I served as Jim's principal in East Windsor. If you ever wanted a straight answer, Jim had it! He also was one of the really nicest persons I have known. I feel for you since I lost my wife 5 years ago. We only made it to our 47th wedding anniversary. It leaves a big gap but somehow we move on. My best wishes to you and your family.
