    I was very fond of seeing Julius at Car Shows where he would always come up and point to my shirt like there was a spot and bop my nose when looked down. I knew what coming but always enjoyed him having his fun. Hard to see him go. My thought and Prayers are with Roger and Lorrie and family who took him as one of their own.
