Sorry very sorry to learn of Jules passing. He was a good friend and great neighbor. The driveway to our detached garage was due to his hard work along with Lenny. Forever grateful for their efforts. Jules always had a friendly and happy disposition. Always willing to help out. He will be missed. RIP
We remember all the help we got on numerous projects at our house and at the lake; Crappie fishing, float trips, frog gigging, rabbit hunting, and the Richwoods tavern to mention only a few. Jules was an inspiration to anyone enduring medical issues as he had incredible courage. He will be missed!
Love, Steve & Kay
I offer my sympathy to my good friend Gay Olges on the loss of her brother, and to the whole family.
Gay has talked about her brother so many times and what a great person he was.
Love, Pat Eisenhart
Such a genuinely, all around great guy. It’s nice to think of all the good times we’ve had with him. Blessed to call him my friend
We are saddened to hear of Jules passing What a great guy I have many memories of good times together The day at the Winery in Richwoods Dirt bike riding crappie fishing Float trips Trout fishing at Tannicomo Golf outings our life was richer because of him God bless him
The world will be a lot less happy place without Jules. You couldn’t ask for a better boss. His happy demeanor could pull you out of even the worst mood. He will be greatly missed by this old welder. My deepest condolences to all of his family and fellow friends.
So long old friend and rest in peace. It has been a joy to know you and every insult and joke was a privilege to receive. Your passing will leave a hole in my heart and in hearts of all of those who knew and loved you as a son, a sibling, a friend, or colleague.
Leah, Jason, Erin, Jack, Lenny and the entire family, we grieve with you and express our deepest condolences. Jules is a wonderful, caring and giving man. He gave without expecting anything in return. He helped our family countless times. Each time teaching me something new. Weather it was fixing the dishwasher, toilet, front door or a light switch, I was there watching over his shoulder. What I learned then has been invaluable. Thank you for sharing him.
