Always remembered with great affection and appreciation by his classmates from 3A, 1960, at Opunake High School. Over the years since then whenever we have met there has always been much fun and laughter! Bill's mere presence has always added something very special to every occasion. Our loving sympathy is extended to Lorraine and to all of the Julian family.
