To Noble Benning Jr. and family,
I just read about the passing of your father, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I did not know your father, but it sounds like he was a very fine man. You may not remember me Noble but, you and I played some tennis years ago when you were here visiting.

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere condolences to the Family. Mr. Noble was always very kind to my brothers and I when we growing up and we have very fond memories of our times with him in Lancaster, PA.
Mr. Noble was a great mentor. He would talk to us at length on the advantages of joining the military and as a result, three of my brothers all served; two of us actually served for over 20 years and retired from active military service.
God Bless you Mr. Noble..
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Williams and Family

We chose different paths but somehow still managed to meet upon the square. The Grand Architect has seen fit to remove our brother from this earthly existence and to call him home. Rest assured that he knows best. My sincerest condolences are with the family and a heartfelt sense of loss will remain for awhile to come…until we meet again…farewell my brother. You were a good man and a Mason.
