Otto Julick III

Otto Julick III, age 82 of Cayuga, passed away on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at St Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. He was born in Danville, Illinois on August 11, 1943 to the late Otto Jr and Lavern (Arthur) Julick.

Otto graduated from Cayuga High School in 1961 and attended Porters College in Indianapolis. He then proudly served his country in the United States Army and was stationed in Korea. On June 5, 1966 he married the love of his life, Clhoriss Muller, who survives. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with laughter, love, and countless memories. Upon his return, he dedicated nearly three decades of his life to working at Olin/Flexel in Covington, becoming a respected figure within the workforce.

Otto was more than just a laborer; he was an adventurer at heart. A licensed ham radio operator (call sign WB9WAZ), he had a passion for communication and connection. He enjoyed collecting arrowheads and firearms, hitting the golf course, and reveling in the beauty of nature while mushroom hunting and fishing. A thrill-seeker at times, he found joy in drag racing, riding his motorcycle, and embarking on exciting cruises with his beloved Clhoriss.

He was an active member of the Boy Scouts for many years. A proud 32-degree Mason, Otto was a dedicated member of the Scottish Rite and a 50-year member of the Kingman Masonic Lodge 314, serving as Past Master of the Perrysville Masonic Lodge. His commitment to service extended to the Cayuga American Legion Post 263, where he forged many friendships and enjoyed camaraderie. Otto lived his life to the fullest, embracing every opportunity for adventure and connection. He will be remembered not only for his accomplishments but for his warm spirit, generous heart, and easy laughter.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Clhoriss Sue Julick; two sons, Otto "Buddy" (Michelle) Julick and John David (Shelly) Julick; five grandchildren, Bailee (Travis) Mitchell, Heath Julick, Dr. Cole Julick, Hali (Jared) Williams and Kyleigha Julick; nine great grandchildren; a sister, Marva Moore; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
