Charles J. Noll, Jr., age 91, of Wayne died on Sunday, June 14, 2009, after a brief illness.
He was born and raised in Paterson, having attended Central High School, Paterson with the Class of 1936.
Charles enlisted in the US Navy where he served two years and was just finishing his second year in Reserves when the United States entered into WWII. He married the love of his life, Margaret McWilliams, on December 27, 1941 just before he was called back into active duty. Throughout his service he was involved in all types of radios and electronics. His work on Eleuthera Island was instrumental in the formation of sonar. Upon his discharge he attained the rank of Chief Petty Officer.
After his military service he returned to the Curtis Wright Corp., Wood-Ridge where he had worked before going into the Navy. He literally worked his way up from the mailroom, at age 18, to retire as an executive in 1983 after over fifty years of service to the company.
When Charles returned from the Navy he and Margaret lived in the Veteran Housing on Redwood Ave., Paterson. With his intimate knowledge of electronics he built his own television. People would come to his home to watch the Friday Night Fights. On some occasions they would have people looking in the windows to get a glimpse of the broadcast. He also made his own baby monitor so he and his wife could go to the neighbors home to play cards. They moved to Wayne in 1950 where they raised their family.
Charles was an avid Amateur Radio and Short Wave Radio operator and has had the call sign W2HSR since he was a little boy. He was also a perfectionist, whether it was his work, radios or any endeavor he put his mind to, he approached it with an all or nothing attitude.
Upon retiring he alphabetized and organized Margaret’s pantry. Because of this and many other obsessive compulsive traits his children think their mom should be nominated for sainthood. Everything on the counter had to face a certain direction; his son John would turn things just a little bit just to see if they would be moved back. Yes they were moved back with no words ever spoken about it. Charles has every check he ever issued, pay stub he ever received and even has every letter ever issued from credit card companies changing their terms of use. All of these things are perfectly organized either alphabetically, by date and/or issuer.
In 2004 Margaret passed away and Charles, with his heart broken, turned emotionally inward and led a very private life. He was determined to live out the days of his life, in the home he had built, and did just that.
He was the beloved husband the late Margaret L. (McWilliams) Noll(2004); loving father of Barbara Crescente of Niantic, CT, John C. Noll and his wife Louise of Swan Lake, NY and Patricia Noll of Morristown; loved brother of the late John W. Noll; cherished grandfather of Albert Ciccone, Charles Ciccone, Jennifer Zappa, Jacqueline Noll and John C. Noll, Jr.; loved great-grandfather of Albert, Michael, Karleigh, Ashley, Cheyenne, Luke and Robert.
