During childhood, farming was a major part of Jule's life. He had morning chores to complete before going to school each morning and when the chores were completed, he then walked 3 miles to school along with his brothers and sister. Returning from school In the afternoon there was planting, plowing and feeding the livestock to be done, then of course, homework to complete.

In the summer of 1956, Jule married Barbara Ellison, and they moved to Brooklyn, New York where they lived until 1968. During that time three children were born, Lorraine, Wanda, and Larry.

In New York Jule also had the good fortune to work for Grumman Aerospace, which provide additional schooling in aerospace technology. Jule had the opportunity to have worked on building the space craft that John Glenn flew..

After returning to Marion in 1969, Jule returned to farming while also working for Union Carbide. He retired from ESAB (formerly Union Carbide) in 1997.
Jule was then asked to become a member of Pee Dee Electric and in 1999, he was elected Chairman of the Board. He remains in that position today.

As the years have passed Jule remains a farmer at heart and like all the Conners, very much involved in family.
