11 July 2024 Rex asked tammielliott, "You manage a test for N.G. Is that Noel Allen Gibb?"
14 July 2024 tammielliott replied, "I'm sorry. Noel Gibb padded away from cancer. I don't have any info other than what he provided. He had 6 kids. But I don't have anyway of connecting with them"
14 Sep 2024 tammielliott wrote, "Noel was a nice guy as long as you didn't cross him. I did his DNA as he wanted to know what it looked like. I know he had another son, older than all the rest, but once he divorced that wife, he never saw that son again until 2018. He fly in, met with Noel at his shop, fly out and we never heard a peep from him or Noel about him again. We were all close up until 2000. Covid came and everyone stopped getting together, so no one knew what was gong on. Noel had cancer, but not sure what type. He survived Covid twice."
