John was born in Rochester, New York to Jennie and Joseph Julian. The youngest of five, John had a loving relationship with his mother and cared for her along with his siblings after the early passing of his father. John attended Aquinas Institute and Rochester Institute of Technology. He worked many jobs from a young age, and joined his brothers in their business, United Dry Cleaners. John eventually worked his way into ownership and grew one location into the seven establishments of Julian’s Dry Cleaners’ that serve the Rochester community today. He met the love of his life, Barbara, and they have been blissfully married for 64 years. They grew their family with three children and created a beautiful life and legacy that includes eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. John loved enjoying family dinners with those he loved, travelling the world with dear friends and family, and passing his wisdom, humor, generosity and unconditional love to all those around him. He will be deeply missed and his legacy will live on in the family he leaves behind.
