A CELEBRATION OF JULE'S LIFE ~   


 

"HAPPINESS CANNOT BE TRAVELED TO, OWNED, EARNED, WORN OR CONSUMED. HAPPINESS IS THE SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE OF LIVING EVERY MINUTE WITH LOVE, GRACE, AND GRATITUDE."
                                       
               ~ DR.DENIS WAITLEY, American Author ~ 




"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
   
~ BLACK ELK  (1863-1950)  Ogalala Lakota Sioux Holy Man

Jule,
 Today you were born and it’s my favorite day. I celebrate you today and every day. Who would have known that night at the movie theater popcorn counter, would change my life forever. Because that’s the day I met you. From that day on we shared the beautiful journey of life together. And what a wonderful time we had. Today I celebrate the exceptional and special person you are. Happy Birthday my love, what a true Jewel you really are to me.
Forever & Always yours, Lanét

Dad,
 Today was the day you were born. What a day of happiness & joy. Also it’s your dad “Hunza’s” birthday too! Two very special men I love so much. A life well lived is a life that touches others and changes them for the better. You did that for so many. You’re my father and my friend and you stay with me. I’m so proud to be your daughter, so proud to carry on, in me, a part of you. I love you Doodle. It’s a happy day because you were born! That ends up working out nicely for me dad, don’t you think! Lol… I miss and love you everyday. 
Your devoted daughter, Melody

So hard to believe such a good friend has been gone so long ago. I recall the personal values he had which come from his loving parents and brother, Jack.
Jule often visited our family when he was traveling through the Twin Cities. Such good memories of a really fine man who left us far too soon.
Blessings,
Lowery

Dad,
Happy Birthday! Today is also your dad, Hunza’s birthday. I’m so glad you both were born so I could be here to wish you a Happy Birthday, lol! I love the warmth of your hugs, the twinkle in your eye when you’ve pulled some trick on me I haven’t figured out yet. The generosity, happiness, love, patience, understanding and joy you always gave to me. I could never find a better dad or friend as you. You will always be my best buddy and my true North to keep me going in the best direction with integrity and warmth. I love you Doodle and I love you to infinity and back! Happy Birthday with all my love.
your favorite youngest child, Melody

Dearest Jule,
I celebrate wonderful you today, on your birthday, May 16, 1933. You’re the love of my life and my truest friend forever. What a legacy of goodness you have contributed to the world and to all the lives you’ve genuinely reached out to in friendship. But especially to your family. Today Melody and I are living the dream you and I wished for together, a mountain cabin in the forest. I know you would love this home and I know your near. Mostly I think of the man I love. What a blessing to know with God, we will share our lives always. Happy Birthday darling.
My love forever, Lanét

Dear Moravec family,

Bob and I recently had a conversation about life decisions and we quoted Jules as we thought about our values clarification. He certainly lives on in all of those of us who he touched. I am hoping you are all well and wishing you peace in knowing the powerful legacy left behind. Sending love— Joni

Dad,
Today I think of your great spirit, your kindness, warmth, fairness, wisdom, sense of humor and sense of adventure. I carry on those qualities you instilled in me, as your loving daughter. Each day is new, with all kinds of possibilities, waiting for us to step out the door and go on an adventure! Thank you for inspiring that joy in me. The best gift you’ve ever given me was and is being my father and my friend.
I love you Doodle! Here’s a big mud puddle hug for you. Your, Melody

The love, joy and laughter goes on in me, as I remember daily our life together. I miss you every moment of every day as I continue living the life we created together, for each other and our family. On this day 7 years ago, you went ahead of us as you did on our many adventures in life. I miss you darling Jule, I carry your heart in my heart.

Dad, Today is Father’s Day and I’m thinking of you. My wonderful father and my buddy. I’m so very blessed to have a father as amazing as you. My mind and heart is filled with so many extraordinary moments spent as your daughter. Happy times and good talks. Quiet times just hanging out being together. With moments of laughter and jokes played on each other. No child could wish for more than to have a father as completely unique and special as you. You’re my father and my friend...you are always with me! I love you Doodle.

For some reason have been thinking of Jule as I continue to volunteer at the VA in Prescott. I remember how much Jule contributed to the VA both as a leader and as a psychologist.

What a beautiful life you lived Jule. Joy was always in your heart, from childhood to old age. You loved people of all creeds and races. No one was a stranger to you. As your family, you taught us so much about living life with wonder and courage, through your example. Your mind was filed with creative ideas and your sence of humor was prevelant in every day. You chose so many varied experiences, embraced new ideas, new places, new friends and sought joy and commitment in each of those choices. And most of all, you loved us tenderly and completely. Life was a GREAT adventure with you! We celebrate you every day of our lives. I love you! Today May 16, 2019, was your 86th birthday... my dear darling husband! Forever my heart, Lanét

Dad,
Today is your Birthday May 16th! Also it is your Dad’s, Grampa Hunza’s Birthday. It’s such a special day to celebrate the life of “my favorite only-est Dad”, lol. I’m so glad you were born because the world was blessed with such a unique, caring and beautiful person. I will always celebrate you because you are eternal and always the best friend and Dad a daughter could ever have. Happy Wonderful You Day Dad. Hugs to you forever! I love you always, Melody

I have been recently sorting through pictures and important documents I have accumulated over my past 89 years and came across information Lanet sent me nearly five years ago, after Jule's passing. In addition to that information I have fond memories of the entire Moravec family while I was in high school and the Mines in Rapid City and for many years after graduating from the Mines when I visited Mae in Sturgis and attended Jack's funeral. I sure wish you guys were nearby so we could recall such good friends. I would appreciate getting your home address so we could keep in touch. One thing that the "boys" might appreciate is that I will be competing in the Minnesota Senior Games in August and hope to qualify for the 2019 Senior Games in Albuquerque in the 90-95 age group. I hope to place in the shot put, discus, javelin, and racquetball. Last year, 2017, I placed in all of those events in the National Senior Games in Birmingham, Alabama. One thing about sorting you find old memories which are real treasures. Also, like the opening comments on this web page.
Blessings, Lowery

Happy Fourth of July my darling. We had so much fun together on every 4th. Melody and I thought of you and our family - - remembering the joy in sharing life together and the many adventures we had all throughout our 60+ years together. Your spirit gives me the courage to continue living every day just as we experienced life together.

Dad, You are my best buddy, my hero and my amazing wonderful father. So often I hear your words of wisdom guiding me still in life, the many jokes we shared that still make me smile and laugh today. The way you made my childhood secure and happy. And the way you showed me how to care about other people. I'm truely my fathers daughter! And I'm proud to carry on your kindness, your bear hugs, your jokes and teasing (also from Grampa Hunza) to give laughter in the world, your loyalty to family and friends. And your wonderful joy of living life with a full happy heart. You also picked us a very special and beautiful mother! I love you Doodle, no one could have a better dad!

Dad, Christmas time warms me with such happy memories. You were such a wonderful father always making the holidays special for us kids. The twinkle and magic of the season always centered around you and moma. Leaving the milk and chocolate chip cookies for Santa, that he loved so much, just like you. Going to The Kennedy Center to see The Nutcracker Ballet. And visions of sugarplum fairies that night in bed, after watching them dance across the stage. Your being so good about my always having to pick a crooked Christmas tree that no one else wanted. Going with you and Grandpa to sell Christmas trees for the YMCA. And the smell of pine trees and hot chocolate that moma sent with us to keep us warm. The tucking me in bed and waiting for me to stop giggling, just so I could keep you there a little longer. The piggyback rides and practical jokes we played on each other well into my adulthood. Those treasured memories of my father who was always so fun, patient, strong, playful and kind. I love you to the moon and back Doodle, my best buddy.

During this special time of year I think of all our beautiful Christmas holidays together. It fills me the warmest thoughts and suddenly I'm back with you enjoying our many different Christmases in many places all over the country.

I miss you my dear, dear friend. I didn't see you that often for the last few years, but I knew you were just a phone call away. Now I talk to that beautiful picture Lanet gave me and I remember the warmth of that beautiful smile. And not a day goes by when I don't think of some of the wonderful things you taught me. I was so privileged to have you in my life and to call you my friend. I love you Jule.

My Darling Jule, Today is your birthday and I find my thoughts gliding through all my treasured days shared with you and our wonderful life together...60 special years of love, happiness and joy of having so much fun together. I love so much about you ~ your inner strength, courage, commitment, humor, great sence of adventure, calm nature and kindness shown toward others. From the first time I saw you from the tree I climbed just 6 feet away from a window on the third floor of the science building at South Dakota State College, not knowing I would soon be face to face with the one I would share my life with. You smiled bright and said "Hi", staring right into my eyes. Suprised I scrambled down the tree excited and feeling silly, I knew, even from the top of the tree, you were going to be someone special in my life. I still feel the breeze in the swaying tree, telling me life is now about to change. Two years later we were getting married! It has and always will be you, my greatest adventure, my best friend and my dear husband. Our love will always shine as bright as the stars. Forever, Lanet

Dad, today is the day you were born! Your quilities as a person were so special. I so loved your peaceful strength, your embracing warm hugs, and our fun games of hide and seek...not just as a child but as an adult. You and I had great fun in hiding in the shadows waiting for the other to forget the last time they got scared by the other popping out from someplace with an "ARRR" or a "BOO" follwed by laughter from us both. I had so much fun as your daughter. I will continue to laugh, joke and play throughout my life keeping in the Moravec tradition of fun as you did and as Grampa did with you. Thank you for being such a great dad! I Love You everyday forever, Melody

Excerpt of letter from United States Senator Dianne Feinstein ~ Dec. 30th, 2013

"Dr. Moravec's dedication and hard work on behalf of the health care of veterans, including being the Director of some of the most complex Veteran's Affairs medical centers in the United States, was truly remarkable. He was an honored member of both the United States Army and the United States Air Force, and served his country with distinction. His devotion to his family, friends, veterans, and the community was truly inspiring. Dr. Moravec touched so many lives, in such positive ways, that his spirit and legacy will remain with all of us for a very long time.

I know that many who knew and respected Dr. Moravec will share with you their memories of him in the days and months ahead. I hope you and your family will hold onto these memories and always take pride in his legacy."

Excerpt of letter from Member of Congress George Miller ~ Sept. 20th, 2013

"Whether through his service in the US Army, the US Air Force, his work as clinical psychologist, or his tireless advocacy on behalf of veterans, Dr. Jule Moravec was widely known as a man of high principles and strong work ethic.

While serving as Medical Center Director of the then-named Martinez Veterans Affairs Center, Jule oversaw the restructuring of clinical services in the aftermath of the Loma Prieta earthquake. His leadership and expertise were critical during this difficult time.

Jule's service, in a variety of positions within the Veterans Health Administration, further reflected his unwavering commitment to our veteran community and their families. His personal dedication, compassion and selfless service will be long remembered."

When one thinks of Jule, the phrase "larger than life" immediately comes to mind. I don't know if anyone on this earth can be larger than life, but I do know that Jule was, in every sense, life itself. When you were with Jule, he was all yours. And perhaps now, dear friend, you are indeed larger than life. Marty and I thank you for your love and care.

One of my favorite Jule Moravec stories comes from the period during which we were graduate students at the University of Maryland. During that time we frequently played cards at the Moravec house on Friday evenings, occasionally in candlelight because the power company had just turned off the electricity (times were lean, particularly for grad students with families). I recall Jule telling me at the end of Spring semester that he had been fortunate in landing a well-paying job driving a cement-mixing truck. I told him how impressed I was that he knew how to drive such a complex piece of equipment, with 16 gears, tons of wet cement, and who knows what else. Jule reacted to my comment with an enormous grin and joyous laughter, exclaiming, "Whoever said that I know how to drive a cement truck!?" Dumbstruck, I mumbled something like, "You don't know how to drive a cement truck?", to which he replied, between more joyous laughter, "No, but I guess that I'll learn how!" I've told this story many times over 40 years, using it as an example of the virtues of courage and focused intention, so typical of Jule, and so fundamental to a full and productive life.
 
Jule, we miss your material presence ... nevertheless, the remarkable example and role model you provided continues to live on. Take care my friend ... I intend to catch up with you when my own lights go out!

Jule was a remarkable man. He had a great ability to lead and an intuitive ability to sense when someone needed help. I know he helped me many times, professionally and personally.

Lanet & Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy. Dr. Movavec brought me to San Diego from Chicago. He was the best of the best bosses I had in the VA. He worked hard to slow me down and make me think and I told him how much I appreciated him on many occasions. I will always remember him.

Jule had an unconditional regard for others, a genuine curiosity and warm presence. His love of family, Lanet, Amber, Garet and Melody, was so apparent. Jule (& Lanet) were key in our move to Maryland, then to Prescott and hold a special place for Peter, Angie and me when Tim died, our lives woven together over these many years. Sending our love and care always.

It leaves me with great sorrow to hear of Dr. Jule's passing. His history with Prescott and NAVAHCS extended back to the early 1970's, and proceeding onward in his career to positively impact many VA employees and many VA veteran patients.

cont. part 2-   After Jule "retired", it was an honor to have him serve as a member of our SEC "Mental Health CE Planning Committee" where he continually offered his wisdom and kind guidance. He had an admirable, ongoing, and energetic commitment to the field of mental health. He was a man of remarkable intelligence, creativity, caring, kindness, and genuine warmth.

cont. part 3-  He had such a marvelous capacity for attentiveness when conversing with people. On numerous occasions, I witnessed his capacity to "attend" to each person he would talk to. And at the end of each conversation, each person would leave the conversation feeling "validated", and feeling that what they shared with him was of importance AND that each person was important to him.

In his time leading the Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System, Dr. Moravec had a large impact. He combined several large facilities into the one huge complex which spans more geography than the 5 smallest states. I witnessed his ability to connect with Veterans on a personal level, inspiring their “one for all” spirit. And he could laugh at himself (e.g., when “arrested” at his retirement di

Jule Moravec was one of the finest human beings in the universe. He radiated love, peace and pure white light! His wisdom and love made me the person I am today. His warm smile, twinkling eyes and incredible hugs are legendary. He was a truly beautiful man, inside and out, and he will live in my heart forever. The last words I said to him were, "I love you, Jule", and I'm so glad.

Lanet, I send my love and sympathy to you and your family. I am so glad we spoke a few days ago. I will always remember Jule. He was the best boss to work for. He hired me from the VA Phoenix to come to San Diego and be his secretary. He taught me so much. He was so kind and caring and would always listen to you. He will be missed.

Dear Jule - you are an embodiment of what peace and power, gentleness and strength can mean when all wrapped up so stunningly in one person. Your quiet unassuming reassurance that all is well but can be better, your faith, that smile that lights up the room, and those eyes that welcome you with such delight, all wrapped up in your white hair! Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Jule was my supervisor over 40 years ago at the Miami VA. I had tried unsuccessfully to find him over the past year in order for him to see how I turned out. He was a wonderful supervisor with great white hair who taught me a profound lesson on power. He would say, "There always are people who will have power over you but you must decide whether that power is either positive or negative."

What a gem Dr. Moravec was as our Director in Ann Arbor. I did not call him Jule then, but his personal warmth was obvious. He was also one of our tribe as a Psychologist; while a Director. He held the post at a difficult time when resources, talent, and devotion to veterans were not sufficient, much less abundant. His presence as a person, leader; devoted to our mission was his essence.

The 60th birthday party was a family creation, everyone contributed. Jule was so proud of each of their talents and so enjoyed sitting back and watching it all unfold. He looked great in his cowboy hat, so comfortable and at ease.

Shared Anniversaries

We went to the Del Coronado for a weekend celebrating our wedding anniversaries.  Amber and Rob were performing as I remembered and we all went dancing.

Back in Prescott

We came to Prescott in 1975 so Tim could work with Jule at the VA.  They left in 1975 and we stayed.  It was a joy for us to have them back in Prescott years later.
