In Memoriam: Greg Noone

USTA-U College Course IN MEMORIAM GREG NOONE

Returns This Fall

If you are interested in a career in the tennis industry or in advancing your career in that industry, you should take a close look at what Queens College-CUNY is offering. On November 2, and running through mid-February, the USTA/Queens CollegeCUNY Professional Tennis Management will commence its’ second semester. This adult education certificate program consists of three semesters and includes online and Monday evening classroom learning, on-court workshops, experiential learning with internships and guidance for job placement. There are two tracks: a coaching track for tennis pros and a management track for those seeking offcourt careers. A student may enroll at the start of any one of the semesters, and will secure their certificate after successful completion of all three. The tuition cost is $1,575 per semester. A major new feature this fall will be the Dear Friends, We hope you are doing well during these most difficult times. Last year we lost Greg Noone (2/27/49-4/4/19), of East Islip NY, a tennis enthusiast of the highest order. We write to you now, because not only do we miss Greg, but because we want to recognize his impact on our band of players. Greg was so much a part of tennis on Long Island. He played all over, all the time, with so many people, and in so many tournaments and leagues. He was, as they say, a “permanent fixture” of our community. He loved the game, and made our game better by always being there! Greg left behind his wife Bonnie, two sons, Greg and Sean and their families, and his daughter Hope and her husband. Greg was the best family man! We can’t overstate how much he loved his family. He never missed attending a game that any of his children ever played, and they were all great athletes. By the way, Greg would never pass up a tennis game, even if he had to drive to East Hampton at a moment’s notice, unless he had a family responsibility.

Some of Greg’s friends are celebrating his life with the installation of a small plaque and park bench at Brookwood Hall, Irish Lane in East Islip. These were his favorite courts, so now when we play there, we will have a permanent reminder of what he meant to us and to local tennis. In the future, if you find yourself playing at Irish Lane, please rest on Greg’s bench and keep his memory alive.

There is no better way to honor Greg than to keep playing and enjoying tennis, so we’ll see you out on the courts.
