Mark with his siblings Vanessa, Byron and Toea said their father has given them an honorable task to bury him and they will honor his wishes. He said the family is very honored that so many people turned up to pay their respects and celebrate the life of their father the late Sir Julius Chan. “I only ask now that all our leaders in Parliament remember our father in essence that you all see to his wish and given him the ultimate honor. We are still on Sir J’s time and on behalf of my siblings and family we are deeply honored by the kindness and support in this time of our father’s passing,” he said. Prime Minister James Marape said the late Sir Julius was a pillar of strength for PNG and there is no greater honor than celebrating his life. Mr. Marape said Sir Julius belonged to a certain group of people that believed in nationhood and nation building. “I want to thank his wife, children, grandchildren, family and the people of New Ireland for sharing Sir Julius Chan with Papua New Guinea. We will honor his wish to take him home to Kavieng, right down the Bolumiski highway pass Namatanai right to Huris where he will be laid to rest in front of his house,” Mr. Marape and added.
