Julius Robert Atkins

Dear Aunt Millie, Maura (and Art), Michael (and Susan), Ed (and Cathy), Susan (and Eben) and Carol (and David),

Just today I found out that Uncle Julius had passed away. I am terribly saddened as all of the Raymond clan is, but I know that I am glad over the years that my mom and dad along with the three of us kids were fortunate to have such a wonderful Uncle.

My son Ryan, got to know your dad(husband) as well when he was in search of a job and again he helped to try...

Dear Mildred, Maura, Mike, Sue, Ed and Carol and all the grandchildren,

Dear Sue and the entire Atkins family,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. Even though it has been many years, I recall the warmth your Father showed whenever we met. His spirit of generosity (and patience) showed every time you opened your home to the many friends that loved spending time at Atkins lake. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Atkins Family,
Thank you for being a wonderful part of my childhood and adolescence. From your lake to Lake Finley and beyond, I have such fond memories of all of you. And, Mike, it was a delightful surprise to cross paths with you in our professional lives as well. I know all of you will treasure the many memories you have of your dad and hope you can redirect your tears to those of joy - for appreciation of all he built and all he gave to you, to his country and his community.

Dear Mildred, Maura, Michael, Ed, Sue, Carol and all of your families, I am sorry for your loss. Julius lived a remarkable life and his memory will continue through all his good deeds and you, his family. I will never forget how kind he was to me after my mother passed away.
Sincerely,

Barbara Keene and the Portner family

It's hard to believe that I've known your dad and all of you for nearly 40 years. In fact he was probably my age when I met him. While I can't seem to remember much these days, I do have fond memories of him in Glendale and how he seemed bigger than life. It's no wonder based on the legacy he left and the memories I am sure all of you will hold. Here's to an amazing life and an amazing man. My best wishes are with all of you.

Mildred,
I am very sorry for your loss. I am very impressed with the full life Julius lived. He will be missed by many.

Dear Carol

we are so sorry for your loss. We enjoyed spending time with your parents in Florida. Your dad always had a smile on his face and was such a happy man. He had a long and wonderful life, and created so many beautiful memories. We will remember his charm and smile. Love, the Taffels
