Charles Robert “Butch” Noel
Charles Robert “Butch” Noel, 65, of Versailles, was born on February 20, 1949, in Milan. He was the son of the late Charley Noel and Mary Evelyn Stainton Folsom.
Charles was a Vietnam Army Veteran and had received a Purple Heart. He belonged to the Versailles American Legion. He had worked various jobs in his life. He was a collector of various years of model cars and also enjoyed flying the remote operated airplanes and helicopters. Another past time hobby was playing his guitar and banjo. His family remarked that he always was buying old tractors or other motor operated machinery and he would fix them up and sell them for a little profit. For the last 15 years of his life, he lived with his mother and lovingly watched over her and took care of her. Again, his family jokingly stated that he loved mowing the yard and sometimes they think, he probably mowed two to three times a week. He will be missed by his family and friends. Butch died September 10, 2014 at his home.
Survivors include his sister Betty St. John of Versailles.
Funeral services were held Saturday, September 13, at Neal’s Funeral Home, Osgood, with burial in the Grandview Memorial Gardens, Madison. Military graveside services by Versailles American Legion.
