James Noonan age 68 passed in his Saugatuck home surrounded by family on Friday July 25. His youth like awe for all of life's beauty remained with him even up to the last day of his three-year battle with cancer. The retired Fennville teacher of 34 years enjoyed a rich retirement filled with stories old and new shared among the dearest of souls. Jim was a comfort to many and an inspiration to all. Jim the Irishmen requested that there be a party after his passing.
