To the Cawthon family especially Whitney,
My first thought when I heard about Mr. Julian's death was he will be re-united with his sweetheart "Kete". I always enjoyed the company of Mr. Julian mostly on the golf course or at church. He was a pleasure to be around with his good sense of humor and likable personality. We have lost another of the greatest generation, but all that knew him have some wonderful memories to cherish. May God be with all of your sweet family as you go through the grieving process.

The Perry community is indebted to Julian Cawthon for all he did to help make our city what it is today. His business ventures enabled young people to have jobs when they were in high school and Julian taught them much about life as he worked with them in his business. He was always an active supporter of community events that helped promote Perry. He was a good business man and a good friend to many. He will truly be missed.
