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.

Remembering end of Vietnam War 50 years later
JESSUP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Wednesday marked 50 years since the final day of the Vietnam War: A conflict that claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans over a nine-year period. While US Involvement in Vietnam ended in 1973, the war as a whole went on until 1975. For many of those who served, the experiences they had in Vietnam live on forever. For Judge Thomas Munley, it's no different. 'I think about it every single day. I think about the soldiers that I lost, my friends, that never came back alive,' Judge Munley explained. Judge Munley was a 23-year-old school teacher when he was drafted for the Vietnam War. As a young man with a college degree, he says he never imagined he'd be sent to Vietnam, let alone as an infantryman. But sure enough, after four months of training, he arrived in Vietnam in 1969, and it wasn't long before he had his first encounter with the enemy. 'I lasted about two weeks before my first firefight, with the enemy, and I'm thinking, 'I have to stay here a whole year, I'm never going to make it home,'' Judge Munley continued. But for 11 months and five days, this was his home. He used his helmet as a pillow and the jungle floor as a bed. Dunmore PSP holds annual memorial service He says the wet, swampy conditions often led to sores and infection, but at the time, these things were the least of his worries. 'You're worried about rats every day, you're worried about sniper rounds every day, you're worried about artillery, you're worried about booby-traps,' Judge Munley added. Upon returning from the war, Judge Munley used the GI Bill to enroll in law school, starting what would become a 31-year career as an attorney and eventually, a judge. Now, he uses his experience to help vets like himself through veteran outreach and hosting the segment Veterans Views. 'I want to make veterans feel that I care about them, and that's been my whole life,' Judge Munley explained. While so many others lost their lives in Vietnam, Judge Munley made it through. Something he credits to taking things one day at a time and never giving up on his dream. 'I had that dream every single day, that I'm going to be a lawyer someday. So I kept that dream with me for a whole year,' Judge Munley said. On behalf of everyone at 28/22 News, we would like to say, 'thank you for your service.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
