Not sure what to say?

Dear Family,
Your father was such an inspiration
to young musicians in Winston-Salem. I will never forget his
statuesque presence as he conducted
the WS Symphony. I attended NCSA and heard his name praised by so many musicians there. I am so sorry
for this great loss. God Bless.

your father was the most kind and gentle man I ever knew. he will be missed by so many

A wise man said to me in my earlier years as a very young musician, "There will always be fine instrumentalists and performers in the world of music, but, no matter how crowded that field becomes, there will always be room for a fine musician." John Iuele said that to me as I became a member of the Winston-Salem Symphony. At the time, it seemed like just words, but he saw something in me that no one else had seen. We are all better having known "The Maestro" and his presence in Heaven has...

I REMEMBER MR. IUELE AND THE SYMPHONY @ KIMBERLY PARK ELEM SCHOOL BACK IN THE 60'S. I WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES TO BE BACK STAGE TO HELP SERVE REFRESHMENTS, ETC. I WAS SO IN AWE @ HIS PRESENCE. MAY GOD COMFORT YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME.

Kathy and family, I was saddened to hear of the death of your father and grandfather. The memories that so many have of him will live on and that is some consolation but of course does not make up for the loss you feel at this time. He was obviously a wonderfully talented person and your dad at the same time. He leaves behind a great legacy for many to cherish. Please know you are in my thoughts at this time. Love, Debra Simons and family

An absolutely amazing gentle man. I too remember him from St. Leo's. For some reason I have never forgotten him; his dimeanor, his grace, his countenance, his presence was commanding!
I had not seen him since grammar school until i entered Independence Village one day to do therapeutic massage on a client. I saw Mr. Iuele. I asked Jerry at the desk if I was correct in my assumption. So, yes i had to go to him for a chat! Reminded him of St. Leo's and told him as well that i...

I have such fond memories of John Iuele that date back when I was in grade school at St. Leo Catholic School, in the 1960's. He used to visit us, talk with us and play for us. My parents always took my sister's and I to the W-S Symphony and we just loved it so.
Much later, when he moved to Hanover Arms, he became my mothers neighbor. It was such an honor to know such a good man. He gave so much of himself to others and he added such beauty to our world.
Thank you for sharing him...

We love and miss him very much! He will be missed!
