John Noyes, 88, passed away on August 26, 2007, in Burlington.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of John Sinclair Noyes, a long-time member of Joe's Pond Association. The Noyes family have owned the cottage on North Shore Road for many years. John was born in St. Johnsbury, graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1937 and Harvard University in 1941. He served in the US Navy during WWII. After the war, John taught French at The Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, retiring in 1985. He and his wife, Carol, divided their time between homes in Watertown, Cape Cod and Joe's Pond. Carol died in 2001. John had lived at The Converse Home in Burlington until very recently when he was at the Burlington Health and Rehabilitation Center. He is survived by five children and their spouses, 14 grandchildren, and his nephew and wife, Robert and Julie Noyes of Wheelock. Condolences may be sent to Robert and Julie Noyes, 203 Aldrich Ln, Wheelock VT 05851, or to John's daughter, Leslie (Mrs. Geoffrey Crawford), 375 S. Union St., Burlington VT 05401.

Our deepest sympathy to John's family.
