Noel Squitieri was the most avid surf music fan we have ever met. He was also a kind and generous person, always willing to welcome fellow surf enthusiasts into his home to talk about gear, swap stories or just share his hospitality along with his wife Barbara and children.
We were lucky that Noel lived in Pittsburgh, so we were able to get to know him personally and see him at the local surf shows in the area. We also know that he was quick to make friends through online social networks. Many folks out there all over the world shared in his outgoing spirit.
It is in his spirit of generosity that we put together a surf show with the help of the fabulous Surfer Joe, to honor Noel's enthusiasm for surf music. Proceeds from the show will be donated to the Special Olympics.
This show will take place Sunday July 14, 2024 at Moondog's Pub in Pittsburgh. Joining Surfer Joe will the The Boss Stingrays and the Turbosonics! If you live close to Pittsburgh we hope to see you there. For the rest of Noel's global network, we hope the you join us in a prayer for his family and carry on the surf music torch as Noel would have wanted.

This show will take place July 12, 2024 at Moondog's Pub in Pittsburgh.
Text says July 12 (Friday), poster above says July 14 (Sunday). I assume the text is a typo? Hope so - I'm gigging in State College on the 12th but might be able to get away on Sunday.

Noel truly was a giving person. Most of my memories of him involve him offering his time and help to others. A couple personal memories of Noel:
-
When Los Freneticos came to town, Noel invited them to stay at his house and then took them out to breakfast the next morning before sending them on their way to the next town. He made sure to show them all of his gear in his basement music room.
-
When the Insect Surfers opened for Dick Dale, Noel offered his Gomez 1x15 combo to the band.
-
Noel lent me his Quilter amp to me to try for a few gigs - quite a powerful little amp with impressive solid state sound.
We will miss you Noel. The world could use more like you.

We don't have anything set up for that but that would be most generous I'll post it here if we can set that up.

Love this! I remember reading this phrase on his profile long before I met Noel. Along with his photo in the race car.
