Not sure what to say?

About 40 years ago, "Uncle" Jules Loh gave me a chance to realize a dream come true. Unfortunately, as a young man, I wasn't up to the challenge. I just remembered that I never said thank you. I've lived a long time since. It's been a good life. Among the things I'll never forget is Mr. Loh lending me some cash and giving me that chance. It meant a great deal. JNA

Jules--I hope you are now with my dad, mom, and brother up there in Heaven's Reservation. I remember you coming to visit my folks on the Navajo Reservation when I was a kid--you and Dad roamed the wild back country and you came out of it with "Lords of the Earth". My family continually got lost and stuck in the mud. Fond memories of you, with us, when we stuck three vehicles in a sandy wash. You and my brother made it back to civilization in the back of a pickup truck, with sheep. I know...

I just came across a column written by Jules Loh about his father, Julius Loh, in August 1977. I would be happy to scan it and send it to family members. I just googled his name and cane across this obituary page. Please feel free to contact me if you would like a copy of the column. I was touched by it so many years ago.

Hey Jules,
I got a favor to ask of you. My grandmother, Sharon, died 2 weeks ago today and is now in Heaven with you. I think you two may know each other since you both lived in Old Tappan. Her husband, Saul, is up there too. Just keep an eye out on them for me. I know they'll be great friends to you.

Love,
Your little canary

Hey Jules,
I cannot believe its almost been a month since you were called to God's house. I plan to visit you before leaving for school again after break is done. I haven't come to St. Anthony's since singing for your funeral. Tomorrow is going to be so hard, I'm going to wake up happy and then sad when I don't see you sit in your spot for the 8am mass. I love our little looks you gave when I sang something you liked and our conversations after mass was done. I miss you very much...

I met Jules through a mutual friend, Dave Langford. We used to frequent the "Old Times" bar & restaurant in 30 Rock many years ago. Jules or "Julio" as Dave would call him was a true southern gentleman. We lost touch over the years but never forgot him. He was a character. My condolences.

My father, David Langford, worked with Jules Loh in the Poet's Corner for a number of years. Jules was a great guy. One of my favorite stories he wrote was about how at Christmas, in a house of eight kids and a number of dogs, the tree was tied to the ceiling to keep it from being knocked over.

I AM SO VERY SOEET TO HERE ABOUT THE DEATH IN YOUR FAMILY YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY PRAYER AT THIS TIME OF NEED

To the Loh Family: Please accept my sincere condolences. In times like these, I can't help but to reflect on the Holy Scriptures where I am reminded that in God's new world, full spiritual and physical healing will be brought about by means of forgiveness of sins on the basis of Jesus' ransom sacrifice. In the meantime, though, we can be assured that our loving Father will help us to endure the burden of our aches and pains because 'he cares for us.'
