View all 9 ReflectionsJulian, although you left us many years before I was born, my grandmother and my great-aunt (your sisters) spoke so highly of you and felt such a profound loss at your passing. Your widow remained an integral part of our family and later became my god-mother. Coming from a family of dedicated Chicago Police Officer's who served with honor and integrity, we are extremely proud of your service, yet saddened at the personal loss of a much loved son, brother and uncle. Rest in peace, Uncle Jules.
