We LOVE U in the Addams Family Mr Julia’s, you bring such good childhood memories to us and we will always remember you. Thank you so much!!!
I was reminded what a great and versitile actor you were while I watched Presumed Innocent yesterday. You left us too soon. Walk with God.
You had “IT”, “Style” Charisma, something severely lacking in male film stars today. Such a lovely smile even when you must have been in terrible pain. Taken too soon, You are Missed. xxx
May you look upon the sky and see yourself in the light that come toward you. Vitam Impendere Vero.
Very versatile and talented. A class A act and class A person. All the good die young, too soon or premature. Now that I’ll be 54 this August it reminds me of you. It took me awhile to figure it out but you were ready to meet our maker. Rest in Peace and we’ll all see you again one day. Love ya !
Raul Julia – I think you made an amazing contribution to the movies I have seen you in. Addams Family was never my favourite until I saw the movie you made. Incredible performance… I am sure you were a great person beyond your professional career.

the world has missed a great actor and nobody will be able to replace the carisma in which raul has displayed. A truly sad tale and i will miss him in his movies greatly. May god protect his soul.
Will always love your work. God bless his family.
it;s been so long but i remember well i was 24 now i;m 41 he;s still rememberd
Rauli (as we called him) was a university peer, a fraternity brother (Phi Sigma Alpha) and a good friend. We used to go out and serenade girls on weekends (he played guitar and sang, I played the accordion). At the time he truly wanted to go to Hollywood and become a serious actor. I was on a weekly soap opera in Puerto Rico (Hogar Dulce Hogar), but never really wanted it as a career. In 1991 I moved to the LA area and always wanted to reconnect with him, But I kept putting it off for no good reason. I was shocked to learn of his death. I never did get to see him again. I will always miss his sense of humor and camaraderie. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Amazing actor a truly tragic death so much talent so much more to give I loved you in the Adams family. fester in peace.
He was a great actor and has been and will continue to be missed
you’re a brilliant actor, were and will ALWAYS be. i was born one year after you died but my childhood memories were filled of flashes of the Addams Family films (the first Two). i just looked up the addams family reunion yesterday and i was devastated. you were the REAL gomez and noone can replace you. i wanted to meet you in person, and i guess i will. See you soon, Dad. Adios. Vaya con Dios.
Saw you liue in Dracula. my friends stole my poster of that play. I loved you then and always admired your dignity as a human being. you were a very important model for me. May God Grant you wercy!
Rest in peace MR.ADAMS.
i really loved the addams family. you crack me up. i love you so much. i am doing a report on you right now, and the least i can do is sign this guestbook. but you deserve so much more. i hope you see this. i think about you everyday and the large you made on this world and on my life. you are an amazing person and i look up to you and wish i were just like you. I LOVE YOU. RIP i miss you so much.
Just watching The Addams Family and I always thought it wad great
May he rest in peace Gomez
