"Mike, Brett, Scott, Mark... Sorry I missed your dads funeral.. I liked your Dad, he was true.. You always got what he had.. like it or not. To me, a great, fading tribute for any man.. No matter what that true may mean, it is what they were taught, and they stuck to it.. You always knew your ol' man was in the vicinity.. that strong voice always gave you warning.. From the first time I met him when I was small.. when my ol man had him over at the house after their co-op work day.. I always liked seeing him... only saw him couple of times in the last years, but I will miss him, for the many times before.. like janet said, very few times I drive by the house on 50 that I dont think of him.. so that must mean something good.. Noah, your dad, will be missed.. you guys take care, ..... Steve Walton.."

Tributes
"Our condolences to the family of Noah. He and Glenn worked together at the White River Co-op. We missed seeing his obituary until we received the Loogootee Tribune yesterday. We surely would have been to his wake had we known about his passing. He was always smiling and joking with us. He will be missed by many."
"Thinking of all of the Graber families during this time of loss. May God bless you with memories of good times with Grandpa. Lisa (Graber Klopfenstein Doug Klopfenstein Kaelyn and Alton"
"Mike, Bret, Scott, & Mark - George Smith posted on FaceBook that your dad had passed; but I had no further information. In the Loogootee Tribune that I received today, I see that viewing and the funeral have already taken place. I just wanted to extend my sympathies to all of you. I hope your many memories of your dad will help you through this time. I think of your family every time I pass the home place on the highway. Lots of memories of the Graber boys. And your mother was just the nicest lady too! Take care, Janet"
