Julius was a co-worker and friend of mine. Although it has been many years, since I have been in contact, I will certainly miss him.
Rest your soul in heaven, julius.

"My condolences to the family of Mr Julius Lutz.. I was his housekeeper for several months and I had been aware that his health was failing him..yet,he kept it quiet and seemed to be at peace..humble with the idea that his time was short here on earth.I remeber telling him that there is a better place and that death was a beginning not the end.
I had not learned of his passing until today.(March 30th 2010) yet I felt a very strong urge in my heart to stop by his residence for the third time and check on him..There were 2 other times I did stop but nobody came to the door..and I thought something was really wrong when his phone service was cut off.. I had spoken to Mr Lutz by phone somewhere in the month of febuary and he told me that his daughter was caring for him and had taken over all the house responsibilities... I will miss him. Very good and decent man indeed. He loved that cat!! May God keep him close
Much love to his family,

My condolences to the Family and friends. I worked with Julius for 8 years at the Carmel Facility and spent many more nights through the years at our Association functions sharing a meal, drinks, and laughter. We have lost a great person.

Julius and I worked together at Carmel Area Wastewater District for close to twenty years.
Of all my friends at Billy Joe Langs funeral, Julius was the only one who cried with me.
I will never forget Julius' warrior strength and compassion.
I am deeply saddened by our loss - by overjoyed that he is at home with Peggy again.

We are saddened by our loss of our Father, Father-in-law and Grandfather, and extend our prayers and sympathy to his Family in Charlotte. Papa was a kind and gentle soul who was a wonderful person to be around. He was loving and fun. He was the kind of man who would do anything to make you happy or to help one in need. He loved to play table games with us during family get togethers, going to Tahoe with Nana and his Cat. He loved Christmas time and enjoyed seeing the look on his Grandchildren's faces as they opened their gifts. He fought long and hard against his illness and fought it bravely. He will be sorely missed always. We were lucky to be a part of his life.
Lovingly his Son and Family
