Julius worked as a construction and industrial worker for Harmony Systems and Service, Inc. He was a Christian and believed in his God and his faith. Julius was a people person and enjoyed his friends and family very much. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed following his Chicago Bears and Bulls. Julius received his GED and furthered his education by becoming self-taught and developing a vast depth of knowledge which was a result of being a prolific reader.
