Peter L. Noble, age 68, passed away peacefully April 10 at CareOne at King James in Atlantic Highlands.
He was born in 1950 to Walter Noble and Helen (Taggart) Noble. A true Red Banker, he attended the Mechanic Street and River Street schools, as well as Red Bank Catholic High School, graduating from the latter in 1968.
Peter enjoyed a 35-year career as a police officer, comprised of 15 years with the Red Bank Police Department, 15 years in Allenhurst, and five years with Monmouth University. He was also a volunteer firefighter in Red Bank and a registered nurse.
Always dedicated to his hometown, Peter served as an elected member of the Red Bank Borough Board of Education from 2002 to 2017, including as vice president for two years and president for three. He was a regular parishioner at St. Anthony of Padua Church and volunteered there as a religious education teacher for several years.
Peter spent his final two years in the loving care of his friends at CareOne at King James, to whom his family is eternally grateful.
He is survived by his son Patrick; daughter Kyleigh; brother Walter S.; nephew Christopher; and niece Donna Marie; as well as the countless people whose lives he touched in a lifetime of public service.
Visitation was April 16 at Thompson Memorial Home, Red Bank, with eulogies by friends welcomed after 8pm. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated April 17 at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 121 Bridge Ave., Red Bank. Burial was private.
