ShareThisDavid Noe, APL Vice President of Sales, Dies at 50
26-year APL veteran died after lengthy illness
David Noe, APL’s long-serving vice president of sales, marketing and customer support in the Americas, died last week in Houston following a protracted illness. He was 50.
Noe had been with APL for 26 years. He worked for the company in a variety of roles in Houston, Nashville, Memphis, Seoul, Hong Kong, Oakland, Chicago and Scottsdale.
“David’s legacy is in the relationships he leaves behind,” said APL Americas President Gene Seroka. “Customers respected his understanding of their business and commitment to their success. They genuinely appreciated his outgoing, optimistic personality. He will be deeply missed.”
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 at the St. Ignatius Loyola Church, 7810 Cypresswood Drive, in Spring, Tex. Noe’s family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations to help find a cure for Glioblastoma be made in his name to MD Anderson, Dr. Groves Brain Cancer Research, P.O. Box 4486 Houston,Tex.

Farewell, David - it has been a pleasure to have known you for more than twenty years during which you have always shown a keen interest in the logistics needs of our importers. Above all, however, I will remember your smile which showed that you loved what you were doing.

David was a special human being and a logistics icon. Always had a smile on his face, loved the logistics industry, and loved life. The gates of heaven have opened up for him and are now a better place with his arrival.

My deepest sympathy goes out to David's family. David was truly more than a business leader, but someone I considered a friend. This is very sad news.

Warmest thoughts and prayers to David's family! David was a true person. He always asked how I was doing and how my family was eventhough he was going through his illness. And there was always the smile he gave to everyone. My saddness is for those now who will never have the pleasure of being in David's company and experience his warmth and grand attitude.
