Julius enlisted in the Army in 1936 and served at Fort Snelling in the 3rd infantry for one year. He was discharged in order to return home to farm but continued to serve in the National Guard until 1940.
On November 19, 1941 Julius Married Harriet Carol Aubrey at the Oakland Lutheran Church. He and Harriet were active members of the Oakland congregation giving of their time, talents and treasure. Julius served on the Church Council, building committee and taught Sunday school. He also mentored many confirmation students.
In 1949 Julius and Harriet adopted three boys, brothers David, Phillip and Marvel who added much activity and love to their lives.
Julius was a lifelong farmer, living all of his 98 + years on the farm where he was born. He enjoyed working with his herd of Holstein dairy cows and served on the Freeborn County DHIA board. He also served on the Riceland Township Board for 30 years.
In later years Julius and Harriet travelled to Europe, Russia and China. He enjoyed gardening, bird watching, reading and activities at the Oakland Lutheran Church. He was very fond of his pets and leaves behind his most recent dog "Bean", a black lab.
Julius is survived by sons David of Yakima, WA, and Phillip of Hollandale, MN, five grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great great grandchildren. He is also survived by his niece and god-child, Maureen Stiehl of Albert Lea and Many great nephews and great great nephews.
Mourning the loss of Julius but rejoicing in his new eternal life with his savior, Jesus Christ, are his church family, dear neighbors and friends, devoted care-givers Bridgett and Christian and faithful-to-the end friends, Mary and Jan who on Julius' behalf thank all of you who were a part of his long life.
