It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Juilo. Matthews Road has not been the same since is moving to Florida, he was a neighbor that cared deeply for all those he came in contact with. His wisdom will surely be missed from all that knew him. Goodbye my friend.

Hi Mark, I’m so sorry to hear this. He was a great neighbor and he will be very missed. We always enjoyed his visits. It meant a lot to us that he would come visit when he was up from Fl. With love,
