My American cousins are definitely distinct from us Canadian Pecora’s.
This was evident when we attended Jules’s first wedding. He liked his baby blue tuxedo so much, he said he wished he could wear it everyday: then the whole wedding party, right after the nuptials, went to McDonalds his van stuffed with tulle. And let’s not forget his customized American eagle truck.
We were fortunate enough to attend his second wedding to Mary, and her sons to whom he was a dedicated husband and father. I was surprised to see how large his family had become with all his grandchildren, via Antony and Michelle.
Jules inherited the deep love of family and country from his dear departed father, Giuliano and his mother, Josephine.
We are proud of his accomplishments and the community service he embraced with energy and good cheer.
We share in the sadness of his loss and appreciate the unimaginable grief of especially his mother and sister, Sue, who have always welcomed us into their homes with loving generosity.
