Paul E. Nooney Sr., 60, passed away on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at St.  
Peter's Hospital, after a brief illness. He was born in Albany and was the son  
of the late Ward F. and Marion T. Nooney. Paul played on the Wildcats 
football  team while attending Kansas State University and followed the team 
intently  thereafter. He remained an avid sports fan throughout his life. Paul 
was a  veteran of the U.S. Army and served his country in the Vietnam War. He 
worked  for the New York State Department of Labor and retired after 36 
years of  service. In addition, he had worked as a disc jockey throughout the 
Capital  District and beyond. One of Paul's greatest passions was performing 
in local  theater. He was a long-time member of the Mystery Dinner Theater 
ensemble where  his gift for comedy flourished. He was also in numerous 
community theater  performances including "Harvey," "Moon Over Buffalo" and 
"Sunshine Boys." He  also lent his considerable talents to local improvisational 
theater  performances. Paul loved to laugh and had an enormous gift for 
bringing laughter  to his audiences and to the friends he made throughout his 
life. It is a tribute  to Paul the great amount of love, respect and admiration 
that was felt for him  by all those who met him in his professional and 
personal life. Paul is survived  by his son, Paul E. Nooney Jr. of Albany. He 
is the longtime companion of Ann  Vandenberg of Guilderland. Other relatives 
include a sister and several nieces  and nephews. Funeral services will be
