Henry Noll Jr.

Henry Noll, Jr Henry Noll, Jr. passed on Friday, April 21, 2023, at Legacy Ridge in Gainesville, Virginia. Henry had an eleven-year fight with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, diabetes, and recently bladder cancer. He was an intense and complicated, first-generation German (his father came from Austria/Hungary by himself at age 16 to Ellis Island). Henry was a gentle and very quiet man with impeccable integrity. He was a deeply devoted husband and father. Henry was born on July 29, 1943, in Washington, DC to Henry and Virgie Noll. He served in the Air Force and was assigned to the Office of Special Investigation in Washington, DC after basic training. He met his best friend, wife, and caregiver, Susan, who was the secretary to the Division Director. They married in 1970 and were very proud of our son, Mark, and beautiful granddaughter, Serena. He came from humble beginnings and was raised by a single mom who he and Susan supported and enjoyed living with them for most of her later life. Henry exemplified a strong work ethic. When he completed his Air Force service, Henry worked briefly for Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) and then the General Services Administration for 35 years; where prior to retiring, he was a Regional Director in the Inspector General’s Office. He enjoyed traveling and working with the members of his audit team throughout the country and Puerto Rico. He loved John Wayne and was an avid fan who owned every movie The Duke ever made, and we viewed them multiple times each year. He loved spending time with his wife, often just sitting and watching TV, especially the news, Wheel of Fortune, old Western shows, and cooking programs. Henry was a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and called Bingo every Tuesday evening for 25 years for them. Henry was a fantastic Trivial Pursuit player and family always wanted him on their team. Henry and Susan enjoyed going on cruises to exotic and international locations. While we will miss him, we are happy that he will be remembered fondly even though he did not remember most of us in the end. He is preceded in death by parents, Henry and Virgie Noll of Washington, DC; his sister Barbara Vailati-Springer (deceased) (Jay deceased); and his brother Roland Noll (deceased) (Phyllis deceased). Surviving relatives include his wife, Susan Noll; son, Mark Noll; granddaughter, Serena Noll; nephews Roland Noll, Jr (Karen) and George “Rick” Vailati (Karri) and other extended family members.
