I've been finding it difficult to muster words to honor such a precious soul. Jules was someone who touched my life during a painful personal time as i recovered from a traumatic experience. He was always gentle, kind, compassionate, loving, and thoughtful. He had the heart and eyes to witness suffering and be there to help hold space for you. His soulful spirit is truly a thing of beauty and sensitivity, but unfortunately most people didn't know how to handle it with care. I know during our time together he was also struggling, but he never wanted me to see that. He wanted to show me all the good that was in him, and he did. One of my fondest memories was a last minute trip we took to Vancouver to see Neil Young for my birthday. We both sat in awe of witnessing such an incredible music legend on stage. We felt a freedom in that moment, like nothing else mattered except the joy of being there. I could see the sparkle in his eyes. He had such a passion for music, art and anything creative. And he loved to share it with others. I also know how much he loved his family, I specifically remember him talking about how special his mom is to him and how creative she is as well. And I have the pleasure of having an art piece from Laurie that I still hold dear - a clay pawprint in loving memory of my dog. These days feel like so long ago, and I regret having lost touch with Jules over the years as we went on our separate paths. There will aways be a space in my heart reserved for his precious soul. I feel grateful to have known him. With Love, Gratitude, and my deepest heartfelt condolences. Anne-Marie
