Our Dear Friend, Gay and family - Jules will always remain in our memories and our hearts. He was one of a kind. Always had a kind word and a pleasant nature. He did love to tease and sometimes it was hard to tell when he was serious or not. We know he loved his family, dearly, and they surely loved him in return. We are very proud to have called him - friend.

To the Austin Family,
I am sorry to hear about Jules. He was a a great man and a great friend to everyone. He always made my day when he came into work and teased me about getting him 4 steaks to go and how he would take away all the mean things away from me that he said. The whole family treated me like I was part of the family and it feels like I lost someone special in my life. Everyone hang in there and remember that he is looking over us and watching each and everyone. God Bless.
