G'day,

Words cannot express how shocked and saddened I was to hear the news of the passing of my beloved mate Jules.

In 1999 Jules and I shared a dream that at first seemed too huge, but in 2000 we made 'RIPPEROO' a reality. Many people would have given up, but Jules had enough dedication and determination and would not quit. Thankyou!

Now it's time to rest mate, and I hope you have all the peace you deserve. You have left behind something permanent to remember you by and besides that you will always be in my heart.

LOVE ETERNALLY,
LEANNE PERRY

I third that, Leanne. Rippering in Aus must seem mighty isolated right now.

I had very few dealings with him, and all of it through these boards, but he seemed like a good bloke. From the cheery "g'day mates" that always started his posts I had a mental image of him sitting at his computer in a cork hat with a Koala sitting on his shoulder, picking his teeth with a big sharp knife and casually wrestling the odd crocodile.

My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Thank you to everyone for your posts. I am going to be printing them out in some sort of card tomorrow and sending them off to his family. If anyone posts any others after, then I'll either email them through to his mum or send them on again later.

I'm sure his family will be very appreciative of all your thoughts and wishes.

Love

Jane

Sorry to hear about Jules passing away. My thoughts go to his family.

I remember him from the first and only time he came to London to view the JTR sites.

Three of us met up with him - me, Caz Morris & Andy Aliffe - he was totally besotted with the sites he saw.

I only hope that someone will resurrect Ripperoo in his memory.

I'm just now reading this thread, and as I tend to be sensitive to such things, I'm very much upset. Jules was a fun-loving, eccentric chap who I enjoyed debating and discussing the case with many times not only here but also on Ivor's site where he was a regular. Most recently I talked to Jules about his impending resurrection of Ripperoo and was looking forward to contributing to it. I had no idea he was this sick. He will most certainly be missed and my sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends. I know this must be hard on you, Leanne, because of all of us you were the closest to him.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Hi Jane

If it is not too late please add my name to the condolences. I met Jules a few years back when he came over for his only trip to the UK. i
I would like to thin the Cas Morris, Andy Aliffe and myself made it a memorable time for him.

Hi All,

I sent off a card this morning with the posts and emails to this date included, but I am going to send some photographs to his mum that Leanne was kind enough to send me and I'll include the other condolences with them.

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'm sure his mum will send back her thanks and I'll post up her response as soon as I get it.

Love Jane

Janie,

Im shocked and deeply saddened. Such a positive in a place where there was so much negatives.

My sympathies go out to his family, as well as Leanne and the rest of us who knew him not only from this site but the others.

Suddenly this Ripperworld of ours has gotten darker.

Very sorry indeed to hear of Jules' passing. In the good old days of quiz night in the chatroom on Tuesdays, he always came acrosss as such a friendly, entertaining character.

He'll be greatly missed.

Sorry for being late on the uptake, but this thread has eluded me somehow.
Let me say that I am deeply saddened over these news as well. Jules was a fantastic guy - I never knew him that well, but from a couple of occurrences I learnt that he was a true friend who supported you and took an interest in you even when he had problems of his own.
He will no doubt be missed and his memory cherished. My heart goes to all who knew him, his friends and family.

And a warm thanks to Janie for the efforts here.

All the best

Jules

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been away from CB for awhile and this was the first thread I read. I knew Jules pretty well from the Golden Days of the chatroom. He'd be as intense as any Ripperologist, then disappear for months, only to show up and greet his old buds like he never left. I remember the joy he felt when he finally tracked down his birth mother. He was one of the all around good guys and I shall miss him.

Brad, I remember that! We were talking on a thread - something to do with Michael Jackson, I think it was - and suddenly Jules erupted into the discussion to tell us he'd just found his mum. He was overjoyed.

Oh God I'm stunned! I've only just seen this thread and cannot believe I did not find out about this news until now. I was very close to Jules (Nicholas) and was so thrilled that he finally found his mum and was able to move to the UK permanently. He was terrified of flying, yet he braved it to come here from Australia for a short break in 1999 and Coral and Andy very kindly showed the two of us round Ripperland. I will miss his great sense of fun and his enthusiasm for helping others, while having to cope with more problems than most of us will ever have to face.

Thank you so much Jane for what you have been doing.

Love and hugs,

Caz

Jules Rosenthal, R.i.p.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight I got an e-mail from Jane Coram in Great Britain. She informed me that Jules Rosenthal, aka Nicholas Smith, passed away. He died on January 4th. He had a hemorrhage in his stomach. He died quietly with his family near him. Jules will be missed by many of us.

Hi Dodd.

Your post is not passing unnoticed; it's just that there is already a thread on this sad subject and we've been aware of the news for some time.

Hi,

Just to say thanks once again for all the messages of condolence. I've sent some photos onto Jules' family that Leanne was kind enough to email me, and I put all of the condolences into a document and sent those off as well. I know a few people are sending cards directly to his family and I know they will be much appreciated.

Jules' family didn't really know much about his involvement in Ripperology and possibly didn't really know how much he was respected and loved by the community. I think that the wonderful responses from you all will show them just how close a community this is, and how we all feel for each other, even though we sometimes seem to be at each other's throats. Just like a real family I suppose, when siblings are always arguing, but when it really comes to it we put aside our differences and rally round.

I'm sure that wherever Jules is, (and I'm pretty safe in saying that it's up rather than down) he's got a smile on his dial.

Much love

Jane

The Saddest News

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday evening we found out the Jules had passed away. We are absolutly heart-broken and here in Canberra we will certainly miss Jules. I met Jules back in 1997 through my husband, Michael, who had been his friend for many years. Jules loved the his footy (AFL) and barracked for Collingwood. We had a Grand Final party one year and Jules turned up at 7.30 a.m. to make sure he wouldn't miss anything. Jules, my husband Michael and I had many conversations over a beer and a game of pool about just who was the "Ripper" and may be now he'll actually find out.

Jules attended our wedding in Feburary 2004 before he left Canberra to travel to England to find his family. Which he did (and boy did that make him happy) and changed his name to Nick.

Please pass the sympathies of the following people from Canberra in Australia onto Nick's mum:
Michael Hudson & Lyn Hudson-Williamson (Krys Titania)
Tony Bishop
Di Libke
John Caine
Ian Murray and his wife Louise
Simon Westgarth and his partner Lyndall Waterford
The members of the City Club (one of his favourite watering holes)

We also have several more photo's of Jules which we would like to pass on, who can I send them too?

Hi Krys,

I will certainly pass on your condolences to Jules' mum and will probably just paste your email into letter for her. I know she will appreciate it. I have to send some things through to her anyway. If you would care to email me on jscoram1@yahoo.co.uk I can give you details of where you can send any photos. I always like to ask if it's okay to pass on Jules' mum's address before I give it out, but I am quite sure she will be more than happy to have any photographs you have of him.

Many thanks for posting and putting the photo up. If you email me, I can also send you a copy of Jules' obituary which appeared in January's issue of Ripperologist magazine.

It still hasn't quite sunk in really. It was a terrible shock to all of us.....in fact January was a dreadful month for losing wonderful people.

Once again, thank you for posting.

Hugs

Jane

Krys,

Ah, to be in Canberra on the 16th--should be a great time. He was quite a guy and one whom I called "mate" the past several years and felt privileged that he returned the compliment.

Seems Jules had friends in many places and although reading this thread made me cry, my heart swelled with the feelings expressed by so many. I'll be printing this whole thing and taking it to the memorial for all his friends to read.

G'Day Krys,

Thanks for sharing these, quite a mob you have there

It's certainly the unselfish that are most deserving of our love and respect. Jules was such a man of integrity and a fitting memorial to his memory and life for sure...

Cheers
Spiro

**Mike Covell** · 02-23-2008, 10:35 AM

Jules passing shocked me as we were only discussing the case days before.
He had responded to a "Help Thread" and informed me he might be able to help.

After several emails we started chatting about personal stuff going on in our lives and he was such a nice easy going fella.

It was always nice to open my "Inbox" with a large "G'Day" looking back at me.

We will miss a fine Ripperologist, and a finer man.

Mike

**George Hutchinson** · 02-23-2008, 12:39 PM

Very sad news about Jules.
Hopefully it will be some small consolation to his Mum that so many people are mourning his passing, a true sign of a decent feller. I bought every issue of Ripperoo and he always put in a personal message. A very special man.

**Krys Titania** · 02-24-2008, 01:27 AM

Lost Photo

I just realised that when Ally resurrected this thread she was unable to get back the photo of Jules I had posted, so here it is again for all those who knew Jules.
