I worked for Jules for a couple of years at S.D.C. in the early 60's. In the 40 years of my career as a computer programmer, JUles was the best supervisor I had. I last saw him at the last SDC Reunion, about 15 years ago and was pleased to be able to tell him how much he was respected and appreciated.

Jules was my first supervisor in the dynamic computer industry. His departure leaves a void in my memory of SDC and the mid-60s. Rest in peace, Jules.
