the death of a friend

Noel in his element, captaining his beloved yacht


Very sad news today. I learned that my friend Noel Doepel was killed in an accident this morning in Cygnet.
He will be sadly missed by so many people.
RIP Noel.

He was my cousin and I can't believe he has gone. He was always "Mate" to us and I was 13 before I realised ut wasn't his real name.
So sad

Noel was my second cousin, tried to meet him last March, but he was out on the harbour when we were in town. Gallery unlocked, of course, so we went in and admired his art. So sorry we didn't get to meet personally but felt we knew him. Vale mate, missed by many of the Doepel crew. Lee Doepel
