I am saddened by the late news of the passing of Julie she was my collègue for many years at the hospitality centre in Algonquin she was a good friend and I am going to miss her my condolences to jaques and all her family
A person who will be greatly missed and never forgotten for many of the students at Algonquin College - School of Hospitality.
She recently came into my life as a professor, advisor and friend.
She inspired me to do more and challenge myself. Her banter about rum and life was the best and helped during the long days. Because of her advice, I have my dream job before I graduated.
