James Julia Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jimmy was passionate about many things including music, graphic design, photography, and Philadelphia sports. He was also a member of the Downtowners Fancy Brigade where he performed in many mummers parades over the years. His greatest passion was music. He was a skilled guitar and bass player. Some of his favorite times were spent with his band The Last Dinosaur in which he was a singer and bassist.
Jimmy's greatest joys were his children Saoirse and JJ. He loved them fiercely and they thought the world of their Daddy. They enjoyed doing the simple things together like going to the beach or the park.
Jimmy was blessed with many friends from all different areas of his life. He loved spending time with them at Phillies games, concerts, and on the golf course. Jimmy's quiet, yet impactful demeanor combined with his quick wit and understanding nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met. We are all better people for knowing and loving him.
Jimmy is survived by his wife, Jessica; children, Saoirse and James III; his mother, Debby; his sister, Meghan (TJ); mother and father in law, Rick and Toni Fogelman; sisters in law, Mandy (John) and Ashley; and his nieces and nephews, Kalli, Carter, Eva, and Roman.
