He met his wife Helen, who was his nurse at St. Paul’s Hospital, and they married in 1959, settling in New Westminster.
Julius loved the outdoors, anything fitness or health related and reading. He dearly loved his family and valued his close friendships. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones.
The family sincerely thanks his two angels on earth, Mila and Marilou for their care and compassion over the past few years.

Sad to hear of Jules passing but knowing he’ll be meeting up with his Helen, my beloved aunt, is of some comfort. I will take many fond memories of family gatherings with our gang of children, cousins and friends and remember those times forever. So long uncle Jules.
