His commendations included Expert Shot with M-1 Carbine, Parachute Badge and Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged in 1968.
   He enjoyed playing the guitar and singing old favorite family songs, and tending to his beautiful flower garden and lawn. Julian was very friendly and he opened his heart to everyone.
   The family wishes to express its profound gratitude to the kind and caring members of the Hospice Family Care for their support during our time of need.
   Brother, we created and shared beautiful memories that will stay with us forever. We cried together and told each other how much we loved and cared for each other. We will miss you, but it gives us great comfort to know that your pain has ended and you are now home with our mother and brother.
   A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St. Augustine Cathedral, 192 S. Stone Ave., Saturday, June 13, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.
