Amos J. Julian

Amos J. Julian, 75, of Archbald died Saturday, February 26, 2022 at Regional Hospital in Scranton after a lengthy illness.  He loving wife of 51 years, Bernadette Vaicekauskas Julian and children were faithfully at his side.

Born in Archbald, he was a son of the late Amos A. and Mary T. Malinowski Julian. A graduate of Archbald High School, Class of 1964 and Lackawanna Jr. College where he earned an associate degree in Business.  He was a member of Christ the King Parish, St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Archbald.  Before retirement Amos was employed for Aramark in the Dietary Department at Lackawanna County Prison where he took great pride and had a spirited manner in creating meals for his fellow county workers and the incarcerated.  

Amos enjoyed hunting and especially target shooting.  He loved the challenge of the sport and had a special way of reliving the “sacred” animal encounters. Amos took great pride in his family. Nothing held him back from helping his family or neighbors. He will be sadly missed at family gatherings.  He was a man of few words, but when he spoke it was with great wisdom.
