Noel Thomas Sissom

Noel Thomas Sissom went home to God April 28, 2015. He passed from this life in his Oyster Creek, Texas home with his family by his side.
Noel was born in Cameron, Texas on October 31, 1941 to parents Tom and Zelda Sissom. He made his journey to Velasco, Texas to first live in the Dow's Camp Chemical and later moved to Oyster Creek at age five. Noel graduated from Brazosport High School.

Along this journey he met the love of his life Darla Pollock while she was bike riding close to his home. Shortly after graduation he asked Darla for her hand in marriage. To provide for his future wife he put silver dollars in his shoes to meet the physical weight requirements to work for Dow Chemical. A few coins later and a helpful toe on the scale from the doctor he started his thirty five year career at Dow. Noel started as an Operator, and later became a Machinist for Local Union 128. Noel was very proud of his craftsmanship and years of service to Dow Chemical.

Noel enjoyed remodeling and working on cars. The most memorable times were when his sons participated in the car projects. Most of all Noel loved spending time with his family and friends camping special events, or just working on a project around someone's house. He dedicated his life to his family. He loved watching his sons play sports, and his daughter riding horses. Later he was blessed with six grandsons that continued his adventure as he was always one of the kids.
