He believe in family and wanted you to know who was who and dearly we see why. the lyrics to the song, "Poppa was a Rolling Stone," best describes Jules. Jules was everybody's favorite uncle. And where he went, somebody was sure to know who he was. He was always telling you who was your cousin and how they were related to you. He managed several bars throughout South Philly and worked briefly for the Philadelphia Department of Streets.
