Jules was born in Petit Rocher, New Brunswick, where his unlimited love and taste for seafood was apparent and remained all his life. He spent the majority of his youth and all of his adult life in Sault Ste. Marie with his siblings and cousins. Jules was a Millwright at Algoma Steel until retirement and later was superintendent / maintenance repair worker for various apartment buildings throughout the city. He was a true handyman who enjoyed doing fixer uppers for work, family and friends all at a moments notice. He had a spirited and generous gentle soul to those that were close to him. He has graced us with a lifetime of memories filled with laughter and endless amounts of love.
In keeping with Jules’ wishes, cremation has taken place and he will be laid to rest with his wife Claudia and baby son Cormier. Family and close friends are invited to meet at the cemetery Chapel (corner of Fourth Line and Peoples Rd.) on Thursday, October 20, 2022 at 9:45 am for a procession to the graveside. A short prayer for the interment will begin at 10 am. Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Arthur Funeral Home - Barton & Kiteley Chapel (492 Wellington Street E. 705-759-2522).
