     Robert  E. ‘Bob’ Noke, 60 years old, died August 1, 2008 at the York Hospital, in York Maine.  Bob was born on February 18, 1948 in Malden, MA. He was the son of the late Ernest and Muriel (Hammond) Noke.  He graduated from Malden High School and served in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam conflict.
