Reflections for Sergeant James Stanwood Noyes

Jim, I can still remember the lessons you taught me when you let me ride along with you when I was doing my Coop term at the Conway Police Department in 1981. When we rode through the NH north country of Troop E, you showed me how a rural, community-focused police officer should be a part of those he was serving and living with. It served me very well during my 34-year career.

The last time I saw you, just three days before you were killed, was in Claremont when you and Debbie were getting out of the car for Nate's football game. I wish I had taken more time to talk with you, but this will have to suffice.

Congratulations to you on Nate's very successful career and retirement. Rest well brother, take care of those to follow.

I still can never forget Jim’s birthday. We grew up together in Haverhill ma. He was a great friend from a great family. Today he would be 69 like myself. Congratulations to his son.

Though I'd not met Sgt. Jim Noyes, those who work at HQ or know his son Nate and wife Debbie feel an insight of him. The stories retold of his integrity both professionally and personally are second to none. Thank you for being the man, the trooper we are so very proud to look up to and reflect upon.

Sorry this is the first I have run across this. Troop E was a family. We were always there for each other. Sgt Noyes was a part of my childhood I will never forget. I was honored for having known him. I last saw him just before I left for the Navy at the old summer get together with George at the camp. Cherished memories I will never forget.

Sorry this is the first time I have visited your page but I have mentioned your name many times when speaking of your cousin (my late husband) Les Peters who was also killed while he was on duty on June 27, 1986. and now our grandson Shannon Sargent is following in his grandfathers footsteps and is a Police Officer in Londonderry N.H. I thank you for your service and will keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless You and your family

In our current troubled times for the brave men and women who wear the badge of honor I wanted you and your family to know that many of us greatly appreciate your sacrifice. 21 years may have passed but you are not forgotten Sarge. You set a great example for a young trooper to follow.

I knew Trooper Noyes when I dispatched for Carroll County. I remember his friendly radio voice helping me understand situations from where I was absent and where he had "eyes-on". A gentle man missed by all who knew him on any level. I know he watches over his family.

I was in the NH Police Academy (104th session) back in 1994. As I recall, all members of this class went to the funeral services as a show of respect for a man that none of us had ever even met...but as you can imagine, it must have made an impression on me, since I am now reflecting of the man after so many years have passed. His passing in such a manner never left my memory. I worked many years as a small town police officer, as a federal officer and retiring as an officer. I never, ever forgot about Jim Noyes. Never.

I ran into your Son, Also a NH Trooper and the resemblance is unbelievable I am positive he will carry on your GOOD name through his years as a NH Trooper.
God Speed. You are missed
