was raised in the Lorella Full Gos-

Harry enjoyed sports, espe-
cially watching his girls, grandkids,
great-grandkids and nephew Rocky
Steagall, as well as the kids he helped
in the rodeos and their activities. He
also enjoyed herding cattle, fi sh-
ing, hunting and playing a little golf
with family. Harry played the guitar,
sang old cowboy songs and gospel
hymns and enjoyed the jam sessions
with family and friends. Assisted liv-
ing folks loved his music. He also was
quite a dancer. He loved to beat any-
one who would play cards or pool
with him. Harry looked forward to
visiting friends and reminiscing with
good humor.
Later in life the telephone became
his friend for communicating. He was
blessed with a lot of family, extended
family and friends that helped him so
much after his horse accident that led
to his leg amputation in 2011, to get
“Back in the Saddle Again” which he
did for a while. When his back pain
got bad enough he couldn’t walk
much, his 4-wheeler became his legs.
Harry was preceded in death by his
mother, Helen Noble (Vorce); father
Bill Noble; brothers-in-law Dave
Mamalis and Bill Steagall; son-in-
law Pat Lafferty; sister-in-law Linda
