Liilian Jordan

POLICHANY, Julius ("Tony") Age 95, went peacefully to be with his Lord on Sunday, May 26. 2002. Loved ones preceding him to Heaven include his wife Lillian, parents Margaret and John, sister Margaret, niece Debbie, nephews Gregory and Paul, and aunt Julia Bona. Born in Hungary, September 6, 1906. Julius immigrated to the US on August 23, 1922, landing in New York on the same day his wife-to-be, Lillian was born. He became a US citizen in 1927, and served in the US Army as an MP and radio specialist. He worked at many trades throughout his life, his longest job lasting 32 years, at McCall's Printing Co. Following retirement, he quickly became bored, and went to work for Bimac Corporation. Following his second retirement, and despite partial blindness due to macular degeneration, he remained extremely active, walking daily on the treadmill, mowing and gardening, and making countless contributions to the well-being of his family. Most important to him was his service to his Lord, which included ushering at Far Hills Community Church, where his membership dated back to its beginning as Westwood Baptist Church. He continued all these activities and more until the final month of his life. Upon learning he had cancer, he remained positive and optimistic. He especially wanted to continue to serve the Lord, and to be present for the opening of the new Far Hills church building in July. He will be deeply missed by his son, Philip (Eva) Polichany, grandson Matthew, sisters Irene (Joseph) Pronai and Anne (Louis) Taylor, numerous nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces and nephews. Services will be held on Wednesday, May 29, at Far Hills Community Church, with visitation from 10 A.M. to 12, funeral service from 12 P.M. to 1, and interment at Miami Valley Memory Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations way be made to Hospice of Dayton. Spedial thanks to the caring staff of Miami Valley Hospital, and to Dr. Barry Taylor, who lovingly helped Julius through difficult decisions and a peaceful passing to the next life. Arrangements entrusted to Tobias Funeral Home - Far Hills Chapel.¹
