He was a dedicated husband to his wife Roslyn and a constant support to his children Michael and Mark. Known to most as simply "Preacher", he could be seen in his later years of life sporting a white beard and always a cowboy hat. He was often mistaken as Santa Claus and loved it every time it happened.
Julian loved spending his time watching western tv shows, gardening, watching football and basketball and most of all just spending time with his wife, children and his grandchildren. He lived very close to his grandchildren for their whole lives and was a constant in their lives since birth. Julian loved nothing in life more than his beloved Roslyn whom he called "Roz". He will be missed by all and his impact in this life was felt by many. God bless Julian Lee Talley.
