Mr. Lindon was my Principal at Booker T, Washington Junior High School. Although as a young student I did not know him well, I always thought he was approachable and kind. My deepest condolences to his family.  -Marie Etienne-Dwarika

Jules was a longtime friend of my father Cliff. They were members of a floating poker game that went on for years. The crew was composed of many teachers, and administrators in the educational field.
I was very sad to read of Jules passing. I think that just about all of the members of the card playing group-appx. 10-12 people, have by now passed on. 
My sincere condolences to Jules family and friends.

I really enjoyed the annual student/faculty softball games in mid June in the early 90s at Booker T. Washington Junior High School. Mr. Linden always made some contribution for the faculty. He may have been advancing in years but was always in good physical condition, good enough to hit a home run over the fence. 

Mr. Linden was my math teacher while I attended junior high school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  I was always in his shared office with Mr. Roberts.  I had such a crush on him mainly because he treated everyone in our school with respect and kindness .  I often think of him and whatever made me think to google his name just now, I’ll never know except to say that he believed we would all be  successful in life after leaving his school...it was a given with him... and he was right; and that is why.  Rest In Peace and know you’ve made a difference.❤️

Julies dad harry and my dad were best friends .Julie was one of the best stickball pitchers in the school yard. Great basket ball player. Just a wonderful person .I was a child and lived right across the street from the lindens. My mother and mrs. linden were also best friends. The linden family and mine were to say the least very close . The passing of Jules is a loss for all who grew up in the old neighbor hood where so many shared the same backgrounds .May you rest in Hashems world and rest in peace.Gone but never forgotten.

Since recently learning of Mr. Linden's passing, memories of the years I spent at Booker T. filled my mind. His appointment as principal  began the school's transformation from a school with many challenges to a model school with a progressive vision.  His leadership allowed me to grow as a professional and, in turn, influenced the  students I taught throughout my career. 
His legacy is reflected in the professionalism and accomplishments of all those fortunate enough to have him as a mentor and friend. 

God’s grace and peace be with you, my condolences to the Linden family, I attended Booker T. Washington from 7th to 12 grade. Mr. Linden was a fair and great educator, I have fond memories of my school days because of this gentle  giant, Mr. Linden was in the right place at the right time, I lived on 106th street, Manhattan Ave. When I moved to the upper west side and became a mother, I sent both of my children back to Booker T Washington, because i found out that Mr. Linden was still Principal there. My  prayers are with your family and I hope  that you find strength and comfort in your bereavement. He was such a wonderful and great man in the eyes of many that knew him. God’s blessings upon you.

I remember Mr.  Linden as my school  principal, I was always in his office not because I was good, but one time I remember he called me into his office and gave me an award for be an outstanding Lady, that was because we gave a  surprise baby shower to one of our teachers, Mr. Linden never gave up on me he said I knew it was in you to be a young lady, as of that day I was  grateful  to him, I met up with him when my son was in his school. Thank You Mr. Linden because of your word I’ve grown to the Woman I am today.

I go back to the early 60’s at jhs.49 in. Williamsburgh Brooklyn  I had just started teaching English fresh out of college and was scared silly! That was the year of the first teacher’s strike and how could I cross a picket line with Julie and Newtie walking with those signs!! We had a young staff and thank goodness we had all those “veterans” to make things  a little less crazy for the rookies like me!We stuck together and somehow it all worked out! He was surely liked by the kids and staff as well and could be most often be found surrounded by a crowd as he diffused any of the craziness that would go on every day. The district superintendent had his offices in our school and the principal  had to keep a lid on the kids so it was on Julie, Newt and George Roberts to keep things moving smoothly. There was no one who didn’t like him! They made things go smoothly for Mr.Katz the principal so the superintendent could have his frequent meetings and afternoon “teas” for the district anity while we didn’t have chalk for the blackboards!! Passing from one class to another was a dangerous time being that you had a r of rough teenagers trying to look “cool” and cause an incident in the passing. He was always trying to get them to move along without causing a meltdown! He saved my sanity many times in those years! We shared an office since space was limited in the  building . He was a guidance  teacher then and had no home room and Iwas in charge of transportation the bus lady was my name so I was PRR for Pennsylvania Railroad and he was TWU for Transport Workers’ Union. He would leave me stupid cards in my desk drawer all the time! It was a real stress reliever at a time when all I wanted to do was quit but I finished out my “three year sentence”and got my regular English license but then I had to resign and pick up my sub license so I could get a different school assignment but I then had to move out of New York to South Jersey and that was the end of my teaching career . 

I clearly remember him. He was my principal at Booker T... The year was 73

I am truly saddened to hear that my favorite Principal has passed away. His dedication to Booker T Washington JHS #54 in the troubled 70s made it a safe haven for those of us raised in the Inner City neighborhood of Morningside Heights. He was a strict and no nonsense Principal who commanded respect. He was also a friend, counselor and Father figure to many students who lacked these roles at home. He led by example which influenced  so many great and caring  teachers at the school. The memories that I have of Mr. Linden and the "above and beyond" dedicated teachers of "Booka T" have and will always remain in a special place in my heart.  Rest In Peace Mr. Linden

I was in the 9th Grade and a little lost, when Mr Linden did an after school class on How To Take A Test. I believe that was in his first year at Booker T. 1976 maybe. I learned life lessons in those few minutes he taught us each afternoon.  He was an amazing person who just believed in helping kids. God Blessed us with his presence in our lives and he has always been appreciated in our family for the way he treated us and the help and guidance he provided us growing up. May he Rest In Peace. He was a special man. 

Mr. Linden was the principal in 1984 when I attended he was so well known and respected by students and their parents.  He encouraged us to be hard working student and attend college.  My deepest condolences to his family.

My condolences to the Linden family, he was a great man and principal, also awesome basketball player when we had staff against students, I was always in the principal's office for one thing or another but Mr. Linden always gave me guidance. RIP Mr Linden you will be missed, Henry class of 78. 

What sweet man I remember getting in trouble with my mom and I was cry he came over to me I spoke to me made everything better.. He always knew what to say and the right time . But don't get on his bad well he never had a bad side he'll just give u that look and EVERYONE KNEW THAT LOOK YOU DONE MESSED UP.. 
R.I.P MAY YOUR SOUL BE IN PEACE

I was a student of Mr. Linden in the 70's
He was just awesome person though us respect

His was a good friend of my mom when she pass he was they for me and my family. And Many good memories. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. 

I was. A student at booker t  Washington many years ago , he was always the sweetest and most caring principal . May he Rest In Peace and May the family find comfort in all the lives he has touched !!!!

I was one of his students at Booker T. Washington in 1987 when my mother died.  At a horrible point in my life, he was a kind and stable influence.  His influence and impact will live on and are magnified through all of us lucky enough to have crossed paths with him throughout his life.

Jules was the warmest, funniest, most supportive mentor and supervisor any teacher here had ever worked for. He cared deeply for his teachers and I remember times when he sat with me and gave wise counsel while making me laugh. To think that he must have done this hundreds of times for every teacher over the course of each year is awe inspiring.  He was protective and loyal and in return, we had a staff that stuck around for many years.  Jules made Booker T. Washington a relaxed and warm place  to come to each day. I remember that he started a basketball game one day in the gym with staff and had a BTW  staff softball team.  Any idea was worth a try so if you wanted to create a program, showcase, or event, he was all in. 
I will be eternally grateful to him for fostering the skill set that serves me today.
I will miss him and I will have love in my heart for him forever.

Dear Mrs. Linden and Family,

I have many fond memories of working w/Mr. Linden at Booker T.  His devotion to the students and staff set a strong example for everyone to try their best.  When the "going got rough" or I became discouraged, Jules' gentle sense of humor helped me to think about new ways to become a better teacher.   

Jules truly loved to watch the students learn and he enjoyed reading students' writing samples,especially their autobiographies. His positive feedback made many students feel such pride in learning.  May Mr. Linden's memory be a blessing.

Sincerely,   Andrea Wertheimer  

Dear Linden Family,

I was so sad to learn of Mr. Linden's death.

I am one of the hundreds who owe their career to Mr. Linden. His humor, kindness, and high expectations nurtured me  and so many others at Booker T.   I will forever be grateful for the lessons I learned from him. 

As I sit at his desk on 107th Street, no day passes where I don't feel the weight of the legacy he entrusted to me. 

Elana Elster


The best uncle a guy could have. Such fond and amazing memories growing up that will always be treasured.
