I knew Noah as a child and as a batmitzvah boy and as a kid enjoying the delights of Hawaii. I wish I'd known him better as he grew into a man and my heart is sad that I didn't get the chance. My prayers go to his parents who have gone through hell and must go on with their lives without their children and for Noah for all the pain he has endured.

I tired to send an email but it bounced back so I'm putting this in the comments section, since I too didn't get to know Noah as well as I would have wanted.
ReplyDeleteWhen Noah said he wanted to keep people connected I was remiss in not taking up the mantel. But to be frank I didn't feel like I earned it. I was his friend, but mainly through the internet and mainly in the last few years of his life. Though I remember him from high school we had never talked much. It was only on facebook - where ever part of your hobbies, fandom, and humor are on display - that I got a glimpse of who he was and that we had lot in common. He was funny. Smart funny. He liked the sarcastic sci-fi / fantasy stuff I liked. He was good with commentary but not scathing or careless. I thought I didn't know much of who Noah was on a deeper level, but when I read back through his blog entries I realize that's not right. We all must have gotten way more of an idea of who he was on a most basic level. After all he went through he was such a strong, introspective, and, yes, very funny guy. I wish I got to know him better without such pain and loss. I just want you to know I won't ever forget him.
