Julian G4ILO has died, sadly
26 October 2014 | by From Julian’s blog:
Julian died yesterday on 24 October in the presence of his wife Olga and two Hospice nurses at home at 19-45 peacefully and painlessly. He will be always loved and always remembered.

We all knew this was likely but it saddens me greatly to report this here.
RIP Julian – you brightened our lives and we will all miss you. Olga, our sympathies to you in your great loss. Julian inspired a great many people. He will be remembered for a long time.
I have no details of memorials (flowers, donations, etc.) or funeral arrangements.

Julian was a good friend and was among the first regular contributors here at AmateurRadio.com.
Julian gave us so much in his writing. Even in his final post, he gave us a reminder to value the truly special people in our lives and not to take anything in life for granted.
“Another day, another blog post. Time for reminisces, time for remorse. Remorse that I didn’t spend more time with Olga when we were both well. Missed opportunities. Not enough gardening together, not enough walking together and other small things we could do but didn’t value too much when they were available. Brain tumor was an excuse not spend time together. At least now it is time to tell about my feelings what I usually avoided doing before or just was embarassed to show real myself. Now I worry only about not saying often enough to Olga how much I love her and eventually I hope I deserve her.”
Rest in peace, my friend.
Julian, you will be greatly missed. Godspeed, OM! dit dit

Julian’s final post is worth remembering; I know I will not soon forget. I followed his writings for a long time and I was hopeful his health would turn for the better.
May he rest in peace. I will remember him. He has made my life better in knowing his journey and his hope.

So sorry to read this news and hoped against hope that Julian didn’t suffer in the last few days. I never worked him but read his articles and news that he wrote here. My condolences to Olga and hope that she will be strong. Just so very sad.
Sadly missed, our thoughts are with Olga and family. I enjoyed reading his blogs.

Julian seemed to be such a good spirit and it was obvious he loved this hobby as much as anyone. I miss his postings already.

I never met Julian, although spoke to him several times. RIP OM.
Olga, nothing more any of us can say that has not already been said.
Remember his love and the good times, the not so good will gradually fade away. God bless all.
