Richard Noonan Passes Away

Longtime Stoneham resident served in Air Force during the Vietnam War.

Richard A. Noonan, of Stoneham, passed away on Saturday August 12, at his home. He was 70 years of age.

Richard spent 10 to 15 hours a week volunteering his time at the Hallmark Health Cancer Center where he helped patients make the best out of this situation when receiving treatments. Richard would go out of his way to make patients laugh by telling them a joke or a story so they could smile. While serving them food or a drink he would make them as comfortable as possible.

During the Vietnam War, Richard proudly defended our freedom by serving as an Airman First Class in the United States Air Force.
