Today we laid our good friend to rest with a fitting ending to a relatively short chapter. Memories will always be present but his legacies will linger on.
They say good friends are like stars, you don’t always see them but u know they’re always there.
Rest In Peace Noel.

It’s with great sadness we learn of the untimely passing of our colleague and friend Noel Baker. Our thoughts and prayers are with wife Michelle, daughters and son at this sad time.
Noel served as a Advanced Paramedic Supervisor with us in Athlone but also bear his fruits throughout many stations in the Dublin, Mid-Leinster & North Eastern regions. His pleasant demeanor, thirst for knowledge, willingness to help and positive attitude are what he will be remembered for.
Deep are the memories,
Precious they stay;
No passing of time,
Can take them away.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
