    If I could say that anyone i ever dealt with and called a friend it Noel Little Man Dorsey Booker. He was a true friend, great brother in law and a helping hand to so many. Gonna miss him teasing me when my Sterling would lose a game or telling me go home when i would be in Mount Hope messing with him about the Dallas Cowboys. Please pray for my family and the Booker family.

    If you met Booker, you wouldn't ever forget him. I used to see him sitting on the porch in Mount Hope. I used to stop and joke with him when I was a deputy. I can't count the many drills and Annual Trainings we laughed together. He will be missed. Our Condolences to the family.

    I served with Noel. I remember him being one of the first ones to greet me in the unit with a prank and a smile. He was a great guy that made you feel like family.
