Another sad day for the Regina Maria Theater team
We announce with deep regret that our good colleague Joó Iuliu has unexpectedly passed away.
He began his activity at the Oradea Theatre, as a merchandiser, in 1994, and through the responsibility and devotion shown to the duties that fell to him, he gained respect and appreciation from both his colleagues and the management. The extraordinary results he achieved professionally brought him promotion to head of production, a position he conscientiously fulfilled until he reached retirement age. But his activity did not end there. With passion and dedication, as a show organizer, he continued to get involved and promote the productions of the Regina Maria Theatre, in most schools in Oradea, arousing interest and enthusiasm among young spectators. His efforts are visible even after his departure from us: the show "Ivan Turbincă", which he organized before leaving us, was played today with a full house.
The good mood he created with his jovial character will remain in the memory of all those with whom he was a colleague or with whom he collaborated. We convey our sincere condolences to the family at this painful moment. We say goodbye with sadness and lead him on his last journey, Saturday, February 24, from 1:00 p.m., at the Steinberger Chapel.
His departure from us leaves a void, but we are left with the memory of a man who was and will be spoken of only well.
Journey with Light!
