JULES YATZKAN Obituary
Died unexpectedly on April 25, 2016, at age 66. While he was a nine-year cancer survivor, he died of complications from a blood clot. Jules was a long distance truck driver, very proud of his "million mile driver" accomplishment. He resided in Tulsa, Oklahoma with his wife, Ginny. Jules was raised in Pittsburgh and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1968. He was the son of Gerry Yatzkan and the late David N. Yatzkan, MD. In addition to his wife and mother, he is survived by his sister, Amy Trachtenberg of Philadelphia; and his brother, Brian, of Chicago. He was the "on the road" uncle to Grant, Sam, Emma, Andrew and Phil. He is also survived by daughter, Rebecca Puckett; and granddaughter, Rachel, in Florida. Jules' voicemail message was unique, "Hi. I'm off planet now. I'll call you soon as I get back". Those who knew him are saddened that he won't be coming back and will miss him deeply. Contributions may be made in his memory to the American Diabetes Association, Tulsa office.
