Known to his family and friends as Dorsey, he was preceded in death by his mother, Grace Fugate Noble and his father, Olie Noble.

Dorsey was a great father to Jesse and Beth, but an exceptional “Poppy.” He will be greatly missed.

Dorsey was a retired art teacher at Esther Dennis Middle School where he taught for thirty years. Dorsey was an artist in every sense of the word. He was a painter, a guitarist, a sculpture, a singer, a writer, an architect, and more. Dorsey was a builder, a fixer, an historian, a philosopher, and a democrat. Dorsey was also a golfer, a dependable person and a very hard worker. Dorsey’s most outstanding quality was that he was a good friend to many people and will be greatly missed.
