Julius “Jules” Yoder

Born in New York City, NY
Born on Jan 9, 1930
Departed on Apr 19, 2024

We lived next to Jules for about 4 years. He was always so kind and he was patient and attentive to my children. He celebrated my kids birthdays, he loved showing them, especially my oldest, all of his neat stuff. He was always so patient and joyful whenever Lily would interrupt to see what he was up to. Lily wants to be a paleontologist and loves geology as well and Jules let us look at his son's rock and mineral collection that he wanted to donate in honor of his son Kenneth to the college. So many memories with Jules, I loved living next door to him he was absolutely wonderful. I am so sorry I am just now seeing this I wish I had kept in touch and could have said a proper goodbye and let him know just how much he meant to my family. We were going through some rough times and Jules and our other neighbors were Godsends. I loved hearing his stories about his wife and working on planes, he helped Lily figure out how to make paper airplanes... so many memories. What a wonderful human. To his family, I hope your memories brings you peace and love. He was awfully proud of all of you. I saw his daughters dance pic, he asked me if I knew who his DJ grandkid was...oh the memories. I loved that man. I'm so so sorry to hear of his passing.

I hadn't communicated with your dad in a while, and just now looked him up. I was sad to read of his death, but he lived a long, rich life. I have so many memories of all of you, especially at this time of year. My siblings and I couldn't wait for the Christmas day phone call letting us know that we could go to the Yoders, and give the gifts we had carefully chosen (usually from the toys at Buy-Rite on Austin St.). Our birthday trips to Radio City and Howard Johnson's, playing in the alley, etc. Happy times. Please accept my condolences. Florence (Steinberger)
