died peacefully on December 24, 2013, at Morrison Woods Health Campus following an extended illness. He began his life in Mobile, Alabama on March 15, 1926 with his parents Alexis and Julia Gresham and older brother Alexis. Immediately following high school graduation he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and was subsequently deployed to the Pacific theater during WWII where he honorably served until discharged in 1946. He then entered Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee from which he graduated in 1949. Julian received his E.D. from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago in 1952 and was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in June of that year. Reverend Gresham served as minister for two churches, one in Pleasant Run, Ohio and the other in Tecumseh, Michigan in both of which he was known for building the congregation, expanding, and enhancing the facilities and offering meaningful sermons. Of most importance to him, he built long-term friendships with his congregants that lasted ’til his death. Years of providing pastoral counseling services led him back to graduate school for a degree in social work. Following receipt of his MSW in 1970 he spent the balance of his working life providing mental health services for children and adults in outpatient settings, most recently at Grant-Blackford Community Mental Health Center where he directed the programs and services at the Hartford City office. Julian will always be remembered for his dry wit, his story telling abilities, the twinkle in his sparkling blue eyes and his ability to say just the right thing to help you feel better about life, or themselves, while reminding us that we each have the power to change. He met people on their terms, affirming each person’s individuality. As well, he encouraged others to freely pursue their heart’s desire, in order to reach their full potential. Julian was a man of staunch integrity who led a deeply principled and thoughtful life. He taught by example because he always believed the truth of who we are lies in our behavior, not our words. Always ready with a smile, a little teasing and a quick joke – you felt good just being around him. His presence and his service changed many lives – he will be remembered. Left to cherish these memories are his wife, Suzanne, with whom he’d been married over 40 years. His children: Susan – Oxford, Ohio; Catherine (husband Lance) Hillebrand, Ana Maria, Florida; Gregory (wife Dolly) Acampo, California and Aimie (Mystic, Connecticut); Grandchildren Samuel, Ben, Seth, Garret, Molly, Greg, Molly, Rachel and seven great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law and family Diana (Richard) Perkins, Fenton, Michigan; their children Tracey and David; and Tracey’s children Ryan and Taylor.
