Richard Thomas “Rick” Noonan, 72, Antis Township passed away suddenly Saturday evening May 18, 2019. He was born April 10, 1947 in Altoona son of Norma (Lowey) Sickles and the late Robert E. Noonan, who preceded him in death in 1974. On Feb. 14, 1969 in Altoona, he married Linda Cherry, whom he met and fell in love with when he was in the sixth grade. Surviving are his beloved wife of 50 years, Linda; two sons, Rick and wife, Sheri and their two children, Derrick and Ty and Tim and wife, Tricia and their two children, Drew and Lyla; his mother; four siblings, Lyn (Jack) Barbour, Tim (Sharon) Noonan, Marilee (Gordon) Harton and Robyn (Lee) Pulley; six nephews and a niece; and his beloved Springer Spaniel, Amazing “Mazie” Grace, who loved sitting in his lap and will miss him tremendously. Rick retired 15 years ago from Small Tube Products, Duncansville and also served six years with the Army National Guard. He was a proud member of the undefeated 1962 Altoona High School football team, which was inducted into the Blair County Hall of Fame in 2018. He enjoyed spending time with his family, drinking coffee with his buddies, and driving the back roads in his 2002 red Corvette. He also enjoyed sharing laughs about his antics, hunting and fishing tales and local sports. Rick seldom missed a Bellwood sporting event, whether it was coaching or cheering for his sons and grandsons. Rick will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Friends will be received from 4 to 7 pm Friday, May 24, 2019 at Jon C. Russin Funeral Home, Inc. Bellwood. A funeral service will be held at 7pm Friday at the funeral home, Rev.
