Today is the one year anniversary of the passing of our friend Julius. He will forever be remembered for his kindness,his art, and love for people. I miss you Julius.

I was friends with Julius for many years. We me around 1990 and stayed in touch through our shared passion of photography. We also shared many a fine lunch or dinner together, at which he often would not let me pay! Julius and I had a photo show together at the Grandview library. He was so humble about his long time talent that I probably still don't all that he had published. I know in his last years he was trying to get them all his work organized. I hope that his brother and friends are...

I have just learned today that my dear Julius has passed. He was a regular customer of mine at Salvis Bistro. He was a pleasure to serve. He had been coming in for 5 to 7 years. He was always taking pictures. Such a kind man. I'll miss seeing him walk through those doors ready for his potatoe soup and pastasalvi. I hope to see him again someday!

When I started handgun shooting at age 37, Julius helped to guide me into USPSA/IPSC and Bowling Pin competition, and became a good friend. We had many shared outings, and many shared meals! I've created a photo tribute page, showing some of my photos of Julius over the past 14 years at: http://home.columbus.rr.com/jmaass/

I met Julius while working at New Albany shooting Range where he came on a regular basis. I really enjoyed talking with him. He will be missed very much.

I greatly admired and respected Julius as a friend and co worker. His skill with a camera was legendary and his manners and kindess were extended to all. He was such a fine person and friend.

Julius was a good man, a true friend and a perfect gentleman. The world will be deminished by his passing.

Julius hired me in 1972, and I worked for and with him for many years. He was a great boss and good friend, and always offered words of wisdom that extended well beyond the working world. I think of him often, and remember his photographic advice every time I carry my camera around. He will be missed.

For Julius, a day out with friends was not complete without a meal!
