His parents moved across the street from me about 15 years ago. I didn't know him real well during the years he was away for school and working in Columbus. When he came home to stay with his dad, we starting getting to know each other. When his dad died, I was amazed at how well he managed to take over the upkeep of his house. I was priviledged to help in in some of his jobs, and to loan him tools. Although there was 45 years difference in our ages, we go along just great. It still han not sunk in as to how and why this happened, and I am going to miss seeing him coming and going from his house. I will miss picking cherries with him each spring. I think I must have contributed to his musical talent, since he obviously got all of mine. Good luck to all his band members and friends, especially Jerry and Kristie whom I met at the hospital.

I guess there are still some unanswered questions in what really was the cause of his untimely demise. For those of you who did not know him, he was a truly remarkable violinist virtuoso capable of squeezing more beautiful and complex sounds out of his instrument than anyone I've ever met. Best known for his work with Columbus legends Pretty Mighty Mighty and The black Swans, he also played on the first Templeton record "Trash To Treasure" which came out during the Derailleur Records period, which for me was a time when several Columbus bands came together and formed a rather tight knit musical family forging away and growing as artists. Noel was a quiet one, but a sweetheart with the best of them and an extremely intelligent and thoughtful friend. I had some great times with him, both musically and personally. Sometimes serious. Sometimes silly. I haven't spoken to him in some time as he moved to W Virginia years ago to take care of his sick father. In fact, as a testament to his caring nature, he gave up his life in Columbus to do just that as I recall. He'll be missed. And my deepest sympathies go out to his friends and family. Thanks for your words Jerry. I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend. -Christian Hurd I just heard news that my old friend Noel Sayre died this week from a possible heart attack related to a drowning incident.
