SPRINGFIELD - Jules Marcy, 94, of Springfield died at 12:35 a.m. Monday, Aug. 6, 2007, at Memorial Medical Center.
Jules was born July 31, 1913, in Sparland, the son of Victor and Eugenia Botte Marcy. He married Marie Hartke in 1947 in Springfield; she preceded him in death.

He is survived by three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Mr Marcy was a good, respected, gentile man who is sorely missed. He always had a kind word to say and a willingness to encourage others. We've lost a dear friend.
