My condolences to Julius’ family. I moved the first of March to rural Virginia, so I am sorry I was no longer available to do the service. Julius was one of our monthly “nuts and bolts,” retired guys who worked a couple of hours around the church on a Wednesday morning. He was part of the group and I know they will miss him, as we did when he moved out to Ohio. God bless! I still use his weed killing formula of salt, Dawn detergent and vinegar — he swore by it and it works. Julius was always so handy and clever and generous with his time and tools and energy. Peace!
