Julian Fishburne

We shared a 2 family home with Julian in New Paltz on Jenkinstown Rd. He was a very nice and extremely talented man. He was always eager to share a wine with us. We are sorry for your loss. We have lived in Florida since 1983 and have often thought of Julian and how lucky we were to have know him. Good luck to you and your family. Kathy and George Carbone, Cape Coral , Florida.

My memories of Julian are some of the dearest and most unforgettable of my life. A man of great compassion, humor and his love for food and wine to share with family and friends. Who knew that he was so fluent in so many languages, and how long did it take us too figure out that he was such a good actor! I will always remember your smile , your great eyebrows and the joy that you gave to all that were fortunate too have called you a friend. I will miss you but I will never forget you...

Dear Audrey and St Julian's family,
On this Easter, I send my deepest condolences to you and all. St. Julian will always be in my heart. In the all the years I knew him he was a great inspiration, a witty and caring person, and a true mentor to me. I will miss him. ~ Peace and Love, Nancy Catandella

Dear Audrey, and family,
St. Julian's awesome drawing, the teachings and times he shared with me, and his love of humor and surprise, will always be cherished memories for me. I gave one of my 2 'St. Julian drawings' to the Dorsky Museum, though it was hard to part with. He will always have an appreciative audience - whether it is in the museums or in our memories. with deepest sympathy for your loss...

I will always treasure childhood memories of the great times I had at St. Julian's. It took me years before I realized that he really wasn't speaking Chinese- he was so good that it was quite plausible. St. Julian's house was the center of social life for both adults and kids. The evening barbecues, whiffle ball games, camping, fishing, hide & seek are all memories I will treasure forever.

I love "characters", and Uncle Julian was my favorite character of all time! I loved to watch him paint or restore a painting. I have lots of pictures of us all dressed up in silly costumes for Halloween and parties, and the way he made Grandma Beeble laugh, kept her alive for extra years! To Audrey & Janet, & family, I send my love and good wishes.

Adieu, my sweet Papa: You and I know that I shall have you tucked firmly in my heart for the rest of my life. I cannot believe my luck that YOU were my father. You will be given all the recognition that you deserve in future writings, photographs and ...stories. Adieu in Love, Audrey, Your Eldest Daughter...

St. Julian was such an incongruous mixture of wild creativity and quiet contemplation. His ability to draw people into his performance-art style impersonations, endless jokes and always sardonic wit made him a joy to be around. He really was the funniest man I ever knew. His artwork was stunning and watching him create it was a pleasure. I feel very lucky to be a part of this family and ...St. Julian, you will be missed.

Dear Audrey and family, I will always treasure my time with St. Julian - drawing beside him, modeling for him or wearing a silly hat - there was always something to smile about. I am so very sorry for your loss, he will be missed by many...
