Julian was born and raised in Mundare, Alberta, and then relocated to Edmonton to study Law at the University of Alberta. Julian practiced law in Mundare and Edmonton until he retired in 1987. He loved all sports and was a strong supporter of the Oilers, Eskimos, Blue Jays and professional Curling. He was a proud Eskimos season ticket holder for over 55 years. Julian was an active curler well into his 80’s and proud to represent Edmonton at the 55 Plus Alberta Winter Games in 2013. Julian loved puttering in his fruit and vegetable garden or helping neighbours with any project at hand. Julian enjoyed reading about current events, politics, and finance, and always welcomed a healthy debate on any of those topics. The family has fond memories spending time outdoors, camping or at the Moose Lake Cabin. Julian was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a welcoming, genuine, kind and compassionate person. We will all miss him very much. The family wishes to thank the compassionate staff and doctors at the University of Alberta Hospital, Unit 5 East for their care.
