~ 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."

I knew Jule during his presence at the Prescott VA (after his "retirement"). He has that special spirit of showering peace as well as excitement with his presence. He had many outstanding qualities, but one I remember the most is that he never offered advice until it was requested. What a skill! This was a wonder as he had so much to contribute but waited until you wanted his wisdom. RIP

Dear Lanet, Melody and family,
Prescott sends our warmest thoughts and deepest sympathy regarding Jule. Words cannot express what Jule brought to everyone he touched, including the VA as a whole, Veterans, the Prescott community, friends & his beloved family. His and your love will transcend.

September 4, 2013

Jule was a great leader who lead by example and with kindness. His work with Veterans Health Administration helped to transform the healthcare for all Veterans. He helped me by his example and his guidance which he offered only if asked. His guidance was always helpful. I was pleased to be able to work with him. I was thinking of him this week and am sorry I didn't see him when in CA.

September 3, 2013

We are shocked to learn of Jule's passing. My memories of Jule go back nearly 65 years when he was a "kid" brother to Jack. Mae and the Moravecs were my sanctuary when I was going thru the Mines. Jule will always have a place in my heart for the tradition of strong family ties, hard work, warm friendships and desire of continuing education to serve our fellow humans. I will miss him.

September 2, 2013

Dear Lanet and Family - My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jule was a wonderful individual who shared his self with all of us. I truly remember the time he helped my beloved Stan out during an important time in our lives. I also remember the gatherings we were all at esp. the Scottish Walk. Take care dear lady and hope our paths cross again someday.

Jule was an outstanding role model as a leader and human being. He had remarkable leadership skills and exceptional professional demeanor. He served as the first Chief Network Officer in the VA. He was a key leader and visionary in the transformation of the modern VA. He loved his South Dakota roots where he was an outstanding high school and college athlete. Great guy!

September 1, 2013

Beyond the great white hair, bear hug and utterly concentrated listening, Jule lived and taught his own unique "Executive Report": devotion to family, deep commitment to patients, getting the most important things done - well!, appreciating dazzling color and art around us, drawing forth the best in us . . . Thanks Jule for living a life that enriched us all..

August 31, 2013

Lanet and family - we send our love and deepest condolences. Jule is remembered as the most vibrant, passionate, and kind leader (and friend) I have ever had the pleasure working with! Jule taught me so much, and Jim and I enjoyed our time together with you both in Martinez. Your stories and love of Prescott took our family there for five wonderful years! Our thoughts are with you all.

August 31, 2013

Wanted Lanet, Melody, Amber and Garret, as well as the rest of the family members, to know we are thinking of you each with love. I am fondly remembering so many times with the Moravec family over many years, through many stages and changes in all of our lives. Jule was always a warm, solid presence, with words of wisdom and humor. A truly unique individual, he will be greatly missed!

August 31, 2013

Jule was a great mentor and he has left a lasting legacy in those of us who had the fortune to work for him and more importantly, to get to know him as a warm, kind and caring friend. I am forever a better person for having known Jule - and will cherish fond memories. Lanet - I wish you great peace in knowing how much Jule meant to so many of us and that he lives on in our lives.

August 30, 2013

Jule is one of the most memorable people I have ever met. He was very impressive physically and his kindness showed clearly in his face. I had the good fortune to work with Jule at the San Diego VAMC. I was always impressed at the Director’s Staff Meetings on how he addressed any problem calmly and with a positive attitude. In addition to being my boss I also considered him a friend. Everyone

August 28, 2013

Lanet and family. Please accept my condolences. What a "Guy"! One of the most intelligent,dependable and loveable person God created.
Strongest quality was his love for family, friends and others. He was a outstanding friend and fellow employee and loved by all. Jule, Lanet and his family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

August 28, 2013

Jule was my friend and mentor. He believed in me and I never wanted to let him down. He was that way with everyone. You would work extra hard because you never wanted to disappoint him. He changed my life and in some instances saved my life. I would not have had the VA career that I did were it not for Jule. He was the kindest and wisest man I have ever known. I will always love him!

August 28, 2013

Lanet and family, please accept my condolences. I had the privilege of
working with him as my Deputy RD. What a "guy"! One of the most
dependable, intelligent and lovable individuals I had the privilege of knowing and working with. He had so many positive qualities and attributes.

August 28, 2013

When my brother-in-law use to come and visit Lanet I would sit under the TV and growl at him Soon he would have me smiling. That was the best day of my life..when they married and left that was the saddest day of my life. He was always there to listen and showed he cared. He will be with me on the paradise earth soon..Psalms 37:29 Sleep well my special Friend Love you always Jule

August 27, 2013

Jule was so passionate and a caring man that engaged those he encountered to listen and learn. His warmth and true kindness was evident at the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival sponsored by HHV in Prescott. Such a smile and and true friend to veterans everywhere. Our country has lost a patriot and strong advocate of placing one's service before self. Be at peace with our maker.

August 27, 2013

A message will be coming under separate cover. I have a lot that I want to share.

August 27, 2013

My docham was a big, big man -- physically, intellectually and in spirit. I find myself re-thinking over and over again the years, days and moments we shared with so much honest delight. I an hardly bare the loss of those grand times .... but the memories will be mine until I meet up with him again. That gives me great peace.

August 26, 2013

Lanet, our best to you and your family at this important time. Jule helped a lot of us over his great career and he is missed by those who admired him. You and your family have set a great example of service, love and support and for each other and your friends. Jule was a veteran, leader, and mentor to all. You are in our prayers. Gary and Beverly Rossio and our family.

August 26, 2013

Lanet, "Jule’s devotion to providing quality care was evident. His innovative approaches to health care concepts set the standard for all he mentored and befriended. What I remember the most is the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about his love for his family and the importance of a smile and a hug. Our prayers are with you and your family."

August 25, 2013

Jule was clearly one of the most influential mentors, along with being a wonderful friend and colleague, in my life. As I reflect upon the fond memories what resonates is his wisdom, passion, compassion, attentiveness and humor. The Rose Bowl game, to include the grape throwing contest, bring a smile to my face! A great man whose value and influence has left an everlasting footprint.

August 23, 2013

My father was a great teacher. I knew of his deep regard for others and their well being. He spent his life in an effort to better the lives of others, especially our Veterans. One of his greatest qualities was his ability to truly 'listen' to someone. His strong handshake and warm hugs are well known. He taught me to work hard, to care beyond myself and to love. He was... my best friend.

August 22, 2013

Jule loved his country, his family, his friends and his work. We, his family, created this memorial site to commemorate a wonderful man who made life brighter for those around him and so we can all share together in the celebration of his life.

August 22, 2013

We wanted to create a place to welcome Jule's colleagues and friends into his life to share memories. This memorial site is new and will continue to be developed further into the future as we add more photos, music, stories and memories. Thank you for visiting and sharing, Jule always loved gathering together interesting people from all walks of life.

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

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.

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.
