Thomas 'Noodle' Patrick Lawrence, Youngstown, Ohio
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Thomas 'The Noodle' Patrick Lawrence, passed away at his residence on Thursday, May 22, was born August 6, 1955, in Youngstown, the son of the late, Alfred Thomas and Mary Catherine Flood Lawrence and was a lifelong area resident. Find obituaries from your high school Tom went to Saint Patrick's school and graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School in 1973. He also attended Mahoning County Joint Vocational School, Choffin Career Center and Youngstown State University, where he studied accounting and transportation. After high school he went to work for Crogan Plumbing for three years, which then led him to obtaining a job with Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority in 1976. While at YMHA he did multiple jobs at several sites throughout the tri-county area and eventually advanced to foreman. During that time, he also served two years as President and eight years as Secretary of AFSCME local 288. Tom retired in 1996. When Tom was a young boy growing up on East Earle Avenue, one of his brothers nicknamed him Noodle. The name stuck for the rest of his life and everyone called him 'The Noodle'. Tom loved snow and water skiing, boating, golfing, bowling, snowmobiling, traveling, all types of adventure and was a member of the Youngstown Ski Club for many years. He especially enjoyed backcountry camping trips on horseback in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, Montana. An avid believer in the benefits of exercise, he was a member of the Central YMCA for 50 years and it became his second home. On one trip out west, he was golfing at Pebble Beach and was asked to add a man to his group. Being a novice golfer, this gentleman appreciated all of the golfing tips that Tom shared with him. At the end of the round, the golfer told him that he was the Marketing Manager for Wilson Sporting Goods and asked 'Noodle' if he would sell the rights to his name. To this day Wilson Sports still markets a 'Noodle Golf Ball'. Tom's true legacy is the spirit of his willingness to help friends and strangers alike, which he did with generosity of heart, laughter and a few 'corny jokes' thrown in for good measure. As his health declined, he accepted his limitations while maintaining a positive attitude and never giving up. Tom was an inspiration to all. He relied on his Catholic faith as his source of strength. Tom's family would like to thank Eileen Hsich, M.D., Kay Kendall and the entire Cleveland Clinic Heart Failure/Transplant Team who took excellent care of Tom for more than 17 years.

Celebrating Irish culture in Schuylkill County
POTTSVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Pottsville is definitely enjoying the luck of the Irish. The city had some pretty decent weather on Saturday for its annual Saint Patrick's parade. The unmistakable sound of a pipe band, a marching band, and a pile of people in downtown Pottsville mean only one thing: the Pottsville Saint Patrick's Parade. 'The Saint Paddy's Day Parade is lit, you know. I had to wear green to pop out,' a parade-goer said. 'I'm just excited to be home and celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. I think this is a great, like, parade,' said parade-goer Lucas Rinaldo. Parade-goers tried to pick the perfect place to enjoy all the sights and sounds. 'I've been waiting all week for it, so I'm here,' Pottsville resident Ralph Zukosky said. Zukosky wore an orange wig and a Saint Patrick's themed shirt and brought out his homemade shillelagh for a parade that seems to grow each year. 'I like to see bands, you know. More bands because before, it used to be Pottsville band, and that was it. I like to see kilts, you know. Bagpipes,' Zukosky explained. Lane restrictions set to impact multiple counties A busy pipe band this time of year from neighboring Luzerne County made an appearance in the 49th annual parade. 'We decided just to bring the band down for another parade, and we've already decided we're coming next year for the 50th anniversary,' Debbie Ritz with the Luzerne County Ceol Mor Pipe and Drum Band said. Some folks plan a whole day of fun on parade day. 'We have a great time here. We come here, we see the parade, we go out and get something to eat and have something to drink,' said Minersville resident Tom Putalavage. While this parade celebrates Irish culture in Schuylkill County, it's also a celebration of something else: Pottsville pride. 'I just really love the town. I really love this town and it's. I want to live here forever, and it's great here,' Rhys Zvorsky from Pottsville said. The parade is dedicated in memory of Leo Haley, who is credited with starting up the first Saint Patrick's parade in Pottsville in 1976. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
