My prayers with the family. I knew Anthony from the mill and was liked and respected by all.
Loved this guy! I grew up next door to Anthony and his wonderful family. As an adult, when I would run into Anthony in a store, he always asked me how my family and I were doing. And I would ask him the same. He always sounded interested in what was going on in my life. He was definitely a great guy and I will miss him.
My deepest condolences to the Julian family.
Nannette, Darla, Natalie & family,
Sorry for the loss of your dear father. May beautiful memories surround all of you and help you heal.
Gloria & family,
Please accept my sympathies in Anthony’s passing.
Always a smile.
Sincerely,

Anthony was a very honest and charitable man who helped many people by giving of himself and never wanting anything in return. He believed in what John Wooten, legendary basketball coach at UCLA , said , “Help those who cannot repay you.” Anthony was very devoted to his family and dearly loved his wife, children and grandchildren. As the Bible says he fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. God bless the Julian family.
