Jules had a great love for horses all his life. In his younger years, he could be found at the horse track. His love for horses was like no other. When he wasn’t at the track, he was at Henry’s watching the horse races on TV or in the barn watching hockey with his son-in-law Vince. He enjoyed his weekends with his family and friends either at the campground, playing pool or bonfires at the cove, visits with his special niece Carrie and also had a special bond with his darling duck Ashley who he thought the world of.
Jules will be deeply missed by his children, son, Donald Ruelland and daughter, Shelly (Vince) George, both of New Waterford. He will be sadly missed by his five grandchildren, who he loved dearly Ashely, Dylan, Charlie, Bailey and Keagen; 2 great-grandchildren, Aiden and Avaiah; sister-in-law, Shirley; long-time best friend, Henry “Hawk” MacIntosh; as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
