I followed julius golf career for as long as he played. I was always amazed how quickly

My sympathies go out to the entire Boros family. Julius was a great guy. I recall going to the Shell Station as a very young man with my dad. We used to run into each other when I was an adult and Julius always had a kind word for me and my family. RIP.

I'm really going to miss Julius as a neighbor. When my husband, Michael was so sick Julius would come over & visit with him every week until my husband passed. Both Julius & Rena will always have a special place in my heart. I'll miss them both. Sorry for your lost.
