Julian Gershon Obituary
Born on November 27, 1924, in The Bronx, NY, Dr. Gershon was a decorated World War II veteran who served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps during the Battle of the Bulge. He received the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Silver Star for his bravery.
After the war, he devoted his life to medicine-first as an anesthesiologist and later as a family physician in Michigan and Florida. He delivered more than 4,000 babies, including some of his own grandchildren, and continued practicing until retiring at age 93. In retirement, he volunteered at the Department of Veterans Affairs, supporting fellow veterans and Tidewell Hospice.
Dr. Gershon was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 60?years, Betty Gershon, and his daughter Denise Gershon. He is survived by his sons, Dr. Julian Gershon Jr. and Gregory Gershon (Cassie Gershon), as well as 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
He will be remembered for his unwavering service, compassion, and love for family, golf, and the outdoors.
Visitation will be held on August 30, 2025, from 12?p.m. to 3?p.m. at Stephenson-Wyman Funeral Home in Clare, Michigan. A private memorial will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Tidewell Foundation at www.tidewellfoundation.org.
