Julian was born on June 20,1937 in Czkalow, USSR. His family returned to Poland when he was 7 years old, to be united with his war-surviving relatives.
Years later he went back to the USSR to study electronics at the Leningrad’s Institute of
Engineering. He received his Masters degree in Electrical Engineering on June 20, 1960.
Julian always dreamed big. His biggest dream was to live in America, for not only freedom..but a better life for his future family.
In the fall of 1967 he met the love of his life, Elizabeth. Within one year they were married and three months after that, they started their life journey to America. They emigrated on May 13th 1969.
Julian was immediately hired by IBM. He started his career in Poughkeepsie, and later was transferred to Boulder CO, and Tucson Az.. He worked for IBM for over 23 years, and had great joy and success working there. His crowning achievement was receiving a Level 4 award for patents and publications.
After a long and successful 30-year career, Julian retired In 2002. He loved to travel, and he and Elizabeth enjoyed taking cruises around the world. He picked up painting as a hobby, and loved to paint nature and his grandchildren. He had the mind of an engineer, but the soul of an artist!
He also loved the outdoors and being active; camping, hiking, skiing, and tennis were some of his favorite pastimes. He loved life, he loved people, and he so very much loved his family. Not even Alzheimers could take his memory of us!
Julian was our hero, the world is a better place because of him. He was so loved, and he will be missed forever.
And he will be missed and loved forever.
