Joseph Cobham Noyes V, known to everyone as “Quint,” passed away suddenly on June 25. Quint was notorious for his charisma, humor, positivity, and genuine love of people.

He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent his childhood in Hartford attending the Renbrook School. He enjoyed spending his summers with his paternal grandmother in Madison at the Madison Beach Club and in Quebec at Lake Memphremagog with his maternal grandparents. Quint’s friendships spread far and wide. He went on to graduate from the Pomfret School in Pomfret, and had completed his freshman year at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York.

Always on the move, Quint took pride in a variety of activities, including lacrosse, soccer, squash, tennis, and golf. He had a hunger for speed and adventure, which fueled his love for skiing. Quint possessed great artistic talent and was also refining his skills in the kitchen. Breakfast was his specialty. Above all, Quint’s greatest passion was bringing joy to the people he shared his experiences with. Quint’s authenticity was remarkable. He had the ability to make anyone laugh by simply being himself. A fiercely loyal friend with a contagiously bright spirit, Quint was the life of any party and loved by all.
