Noonan, Joseph On a beautiful spring afternoon in Brampton, Joe set out on his journey to meet Jesus. Joseph Carl Noonan – Tuesday January 21st, 1941 to Wednesday April 24th, 2019. He was the cherished uncle to Kathy Ann (Dave) Hughes of Brampton. Joe resided with Kathy Ann and Dave for many years. He was the beloved brother of Lorraine (late Donald) Cooper of Sudbury and Michael Noonan of Mallorytown. Joe was the uncle to Stephen (Melanie) Graham, Julia Cooper of Oshawa, Shelley (Walter) Kurnew of Sudbury and many other nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Desmond and Ruth (Chapman) Noonan, brothers George, Edward, John (Jack), Eugene, Donald, Stephen, Patrick and sisters Ruth, Catherine and wife Rose. Joe was a lifelong learner and student of life. He was an avid collector of coins, stamps and artwork, especially the Group of Seven and new artists. He lived in New Orleans for many years and truly loved the city and its interesting mix of people and cultures. Joe also lived and worked in Jamaica as a teacher. Those locals gave him an appreciation for great food. Even though Joe decided to not pursue a religious profession he lived his life as an example of the golden rule. He was loving, caring, generous and faithful to his loved ones and his religion. A special thank you to Lynne and Marilyn for all of your visits, talks, laughs, hugs and chauffeuring. Also to the staff at Peel Manor for their care especially on those days when Joe was particularily disagreeable and to Dr. Abu Ahbed for going above and beyond.
