VIRGINIA BEACH—Jules Adrian Stern, 57, of the 4000 block of Edinburgh Drive, died February 18, 2014, in Virginia Beach.
Jules was born in Germany, where his father served in the U.S. Army. He was the son of Felice Abram Saks and the late Harold M. Stern. He was a 1974 graduate of Princess Anne High School and a 1979 graduate of Randolph Macon College in Ashland. Later, he also earned an accounting degree from Tidewater Community College.
Jules loved the Baltimore Ravens, Family Guy, the Big Bang Theory, and hot sauce—the hotter, the better. After a brief marriage that ended in divorce, he moved to Baltimore, where he managed restaurants. He returned to Virginia Beach several years ago to assist in the care of his mother and stepfather.
Jules is survived by his mother, Felice Abram Saks of Norfolk; his sister Alison Stern-Dunyak and brother-in-law Jim Dunyak, of Lexington, Mass.; his nephew Alex Dunyak; and many cousins, extended family, and dear friends.
Like his father, Jules had a true gift for friendship. Like his mother, he had a true gift for love.
A funeral service was conducted at the Norfolk Chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments by Rabbi Rosalin Mandelberg and Canter Wally Schachet-Briskin. Burial was at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens in Norfolk. Memorial donations to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore or to the American Lung Association.
