Jules Furth

I had the pleasure of meeting Jules back in 2000 - he contributed golf articles to my publication BajaTraveler®...To his family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

The kindness, sincerity and real humanity of Jules will never be forgotten...I can only say how much our whole family will always love him and never forget his strength which we all needed so desperately and he gave of so freely...thank you Jules...even the angels are crying...and you are no longer here to wipe our tears away.

Dear Claire and Boys, Paul and I only just heard of your loss...Jules will be missed from the twinkle in his eye and his love of the sports of Chicago. He was always a good friend and wonderful mentor over the last twenty-five years...our thoughts, prayers and memories will be with you.

To the Furth Family,

I have known Jules for many years. He was a good man. He taught me some important lessons about Jewish Funerals during my tenure at Piser's. I will miss him.

Reading Jules obituary last week was a sad event. I knew him briefly in the 70's and he was a charming man. Claire, I'm sorry for your loss.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Furth. Although I had not been in contact with him for years, he was frequently in my thoughts. I owe him a great deal as he gave me a chance and hired me as receptionist directly out of school. I have never found the same sense of family that he created as Director of Home Health South. Again, my heart goes out to all of his family and friends.

Kent, my son, my wife Barb, and I had the pleasure of feeding Jules his favorite meal of smoked ribs during my Thanksgiving trip to Chicago. Kent smoked the ribs on a new smoker and Jules placed his stamp of approval to the sampler plate.

What a pleasure it was to referee with Jules. He could take a house league mite game and turn it into a game filled with intensity and complexity found in only a seventh game of the Stanley Cup.

To Jules' wife, Clare, and his two sons,...

We spoke to Jules by phone the end of December, shortly before we left for Australia and New Zealand. Although hospitalized and hoarse, he insisted on telling us what tours we should take as he recalled the trip there that he, Claire and Winston had recently made. We said we would call him when we returned Jan. 20th, to tell him all about it. He said, no, I'll be away playing golf and will get back to you as soon as I return.

Flora has known Jules since the 4th grade and Jerry...

My thoughts are with you. Jules was wonderful to our family.
