James Frank Juliano

He was born on January 18, 1948 in New Kensington, Pennsylvania to the late Frank and Florence (Sardone) Juliano.

Jim met his bride, Susan, in high school; and, they both went to different colleges in Pittsburgh while their relationship grew. They married, and lived 25 years of their lives together in Utica, New York.

By trade, Jim was a Program Director at Lockheed Martin, retiring in 2009. He spent 40 years working in the aerospace industry between New York and Florida. He was always interested in the space program, so the first thing he did when they moved to Orlando was to determine which direction to look to view launches from their new home. Jim was thrilled to see many shuttle launches in person. In his free time, he enjoyed building models of the spacecrafts…in between cheering on all his Pennsylvania sports teams! After his retirement, Jim and Susan enjoyed longer cruises and European tours together. Many trips to Italy were a particular thrill for Jim. He spent many enjoyable hours planning their trips and then writing his remembrances of their experiences. And, he had a spreadsheet for everything!

Jim delighted in his family, and although he regretted not being able to visit his children and grandchildren in recent years, he made a great effort to keep up with them electronically.

James Frank Juliano is survived by his wife of 51 years, Susan Trees Juliano; daughter, Laura Chadwick (Thomas) of Vermont; sons, Mark Juliano of Connecticut and Matthew Juliano (Eliza) of Orlando; four beloved grandchildren, Julia and Emma Chadwick, Alec Juliano and Nathan Juliano; and, his brother, Peter C Juliano (Sarah) of Tucson, Arizona.
