Julian Merideth, born to Fred and Viola on July 10, 1927 in Indiana passed peacefully, Thursday in Lakeland, Fl. A proud graduate of Indiana University Bloomington, dad married Carolyn Elizabeth, predeceased, and started a family and career after relocating to Central Florida. Always the optimist and with a dry wit dad was a positive role model for our family and the many lives he touched through his career in finance and dealer relations at GMAC. Dad was fortunate to find true love once again and married Virginia (Ginny) who survives him to cherish the many wonderful memories they made along with sons Gary (Vivian), Bruce (Terry) and daughter Susan, stepdaughters Cathy (Rusty), Karen (Bob) and stepsons Mike and Phil along with 13 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. The family will be receiving friends at Dobbs Funeral Home from 3:00 until 4:00 pm, followed by the funeral service at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, June 11, 2013. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Dad and Ginny’s favorite charities Meals on Wheels, VITAS or Hospice.
