Tributes

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Noel’s family at this very sad time. I was very sad to hear of Noel’s passing. I had the pleasure to work with Noel on the Roy hill project in Western Australia in 2014. Noel was a great bloke to work with. During this time I became good friends with Noel, sometimes on a break me and my wife Sue would catch up with Noel and Taku, nice memories. I was privileged to have known and to become friends Noel. RIP Noel.
