Jules was the epitome of a model father. Bedtime stories, playful afternoons, and unforgettable day trips—like being carried on his broad shoulders through the West End of London—were the norm. He built Lego with me, taught me about love, life, and martial arts, and showered me with endless love and affection. He was a Dad that would protect me with his life in a blink of an eye from anything and anyone.
Passionate and fiercely loyal, he had a wicked sense of humour. Cooking wasn’t his forte; he often joked that he could burn cornflakes. His gaze could make even Mike Tyson think twice before crossing him. With the looks and charisma of a Hollywood star, his sharp wit was fit for a Clint Eastwood film. His love was vast, powerful, and palpable. He spoke of his family with immense pride, and we were his greatest treasure. His rock and soulmate, Marion, was his guiding light, keeping him grounded.
He remains my hero and role model, the blueprint of what it means to be a dad. Loved and revered by many, he leaves an enormous void in our lives.
I will miss my dad more than anything. He played a huge part in shaping the person I am today; he truly was the best.
I love you so very, very much Dads. Always have and always will…

Julian,Jan ,Ron We would like to thank you for being in our lives as a brother inlaw ,friend,and for choosing my sister to look after her and family ,May the Oceans never end ,to carry you on your journey of peace and tranquillity ,love for ever Julian
A really loverly tribute Will. I know he loved you and your family dearly and talked of you all so often. Jules was a great friend to me (more of a brother) for nearly fifty years. In London we used to have Whin Chung and Jujitsu battles on the stairs to my bedsit. And when he moved to the gamekeeper's lodge at London Zoo, we would walk around in the middle of the night checking out the animals. Jules will be dearly missed as a humble, caring, humorous and first-class human being. I hope you will continue to visit down under in the future.
thoughts are with Marion and family, and all those who held Julian dear.
Deepest sympathies to Marion & family, Julian was a great neighbour and friend for many years. He will be sadly missed by all members of the Bane family.
Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure. You will be loved beyond words and truely missed.
Sending our condolences to aunty Maz & family ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh dear Jules. I can’t believe you have left this world. You were a thoroughly decent and interesting man. I always enjoyed crossing paths with you at the City of Albany. Later I loved to see you out of work in your shorts, tee-shirt and thongs with your white socks where the tan ended. You often referred to Marion as ‘my girl’ and the way you said those words spoke volumes about your love for her. My heartfelt condolences to Marion and family.
What a wonderful man. Despite knowing you for only a couple of years, the joy you brought to my life everytime we met was truly special.
We first met at Elandrial Games, and we bonded quickly over our shared love of model building and painting. It was a joy to be able to share such a beloved passion of mine with someone else just as passionate as I was. I remember our usual jokes about the amount of airbrush cleaner you needed on a regular basis, and always loved seeing pictures of your latest projects. I still remember the sadness I felt realising I had to inform you that the store was closing down. The final day of operation for the store was a sad one, but it was made better with your presence; your farewell and best wishes to myself and the other staff meant the world to me, and we promised to keep in touch.
My partner Erika and I looked to you as sort of an honourary 'grandpa' to us, someone who always wished us the best in life, and each time one of us bumped into you around town would have us excitedly chatting about how we spoke to you during the day. It saddens me that our time knowing each other was short, but it was most definitely sweet.
With your time here with us ending, myself and Erika bid you farewell with love. We will remember you with great fondness, and I will always have a piece of you with me every time I pick up a paintbrush.
Your gentle tones, and willing smile, walking softly on the earth, creating colours with nature, bringing joy to all. A friend to many and a most beloved life companion to our angel, Marion. John will find you, together you can watch over those you have loved so well. Thank you for making the world a better place...
Love and respect from us to you. We hold our moments with you very dear and already miss you.
To Marion and family: Our sincerest condolences. Your loss is immense.
Julian was a special man admired by many and he was a wonderful partner to our special Marion they were the perfect couple.may he rest in peace he totally deserved it.he will never be forgotten.all our love to Marion and family xx
Grandad Jules had a way of bringing light to even the darkest moments. He was the kind of person who could always put a smile on your face, no matter what you were going through. During some of the hardest times in my life, he had a way of letting me know he was there—sometimes it was a simple photo of Shazzy, Mate, a beach, or a breathtaking sunset that would suddenly appear on my phone. Those small gestures, full of love and thoughtfulness, meant more than I think he ever realised.
Even though distance separated us, his love was felt accross an ocean. He had a special way of making his presence felt, and his kindness and influence touched so many lives. He will always be remembered—not just for the man he was, but for the love he gave so freely.
I’ll miss you forever Grandad. Love you always. ❤️
You will be missed more than you know. I can honestly say l valued your kind heart and thoughtful words. God give you rest my friend, until we meet again.
Dearest Jules, you will always have a place in my heart. We met as teenagers and our relationship is one of my life’s treasures. I was honoured to witness the love you and Marion shared you two together filled the room with love, laughter and immense respect. I’m still processing the fact you are not with us in this world now but forever your spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew you. I love you and always will 🌻🙏❤️
Love you Julian. May you rest in peace. You will be missed so much. I will always have wonderful memories of you. You were funny, charming and gave the best advice. I feel so blessed to have known you and to have been part of your life. Praying for your beautiful soulmate Marion whom I also love so much. You will always be remembered as a one of a kind legend and treasure.
