My prayers, sympathy and best wishes to all friends and families of Julian. I must admit the shock and disbelief that was felt at the unpleasant information. Julian and Jane (another heartbreaking story ) were very good friends of mine in the early 80's when we lived in El Paso. NOT only friends but family. I was staying with them prior to my commission in the Navy in 83. I absolutely loved their company and the relationship I had with Julian was extremely enjoyable and close. He had a fantastic personality and his sense of humor was entertaining. We never had boring or uneventful days. I will always cherish the memories. God's blessings to all friends and family. Julian is at peace and with our Lord and Savior.
