- (OBIT: MILLINOCKET - Paul B. Noyes, 95, died at a local hospital Nov. 25, 2001 after a brief illness. The son of George and Josie (Wingler) Noyes, he was born on March 21, 1906 on a farm in Bradford, where his boyhood memories and love of nature treasured throughout his life were replenished by his frequent visits to the area to reminisce with friends and relatives. A professional barber for 58 years, "Paul's Barber Shop" was a well known social center in town. Paul's was no place for anyone in too much of a hurry to enjoy pleasant conversation or make a friend. The barber shop was indeed a gathering place for friends where the news, local high school sports, and baseball were the main topics of discussion. Today, without a doubt, baseball has lost its most devoted fan. Paul was an accomplished baseball player and was his happiest when on the field. His love of the game was demonstrated daily when his every thought and deed was in some way captured in a parallelism to the game of baseball. He tirelessly managed the "Millinocket Pills" for many years, traveling throughout the state to play a baseball game. He was a lifelong New York Yankees fan who easily could cite and compare the statistics of players like Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio from memory. As Paul often said "In a perfect world we would all be Yankees." In his later years, he redirected his skills to "pocket billiards" at the Millinocket Retirees Center, where he played daily with his friends. His eye was sharp, his hand was steady, his spirit was as competitive as ever as Paul's opponents realized when they went home to lunch in friendly defeat.His love for baseball and life itself was exceeded only by his love and devotion for his wife, children and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Rama (Moscone) in 1997 after 66 years of marriage. His children will always remember him as a devoted husband and father, a quiet unassuming man with a love for the simplest things in life. Paul was a unique man of few words, profound thought, and a deep love, he will be sadly missed by his devoted family. Paul is survived by his children, Dr. James Noyes of Pinellas Park, Fla., Pauline Foley of Somerville, Mass., Dorothy Woughter of Center Barnstead, N.H. and Elizabeth Griffin of Yarmouth; and a sister, Geraldine Puglia of Salem, N.H.; 12 grandchildren, six great-grand-children and many nieces and nephews. He was a graduate of Stearns High School, Class of 1926 and was an attendee of the Millinocket Senior Citizens Retirement Center. Friends may call at R. L. Bouchard Funeral Home, 11 Tamarack St., Millinocket, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2001. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home with the Rev. Richard Noyes, (Paul's nephew) officiating. Burial will be in Millinocket Cemetery. If friends wish, memorial contributions may be made to the Millinocket Senior Citizen's Retirement Center, Penobscot Ave., care of President Jack Picard. Contribution forms will be available at the funeral home.)
