He was born on March 1, 1923, in Pavlivka, Ukraine, where he spent his childhood. At the age of 19, Julian was displaced by the war and lived in a camp in Germany. In 1949, after the war ended, he immigrated to Canada, making it his new home. He first settled in Noranda, Quebec, where he worked in the mines, before moving to Toronto. There, he continued his career with Bombardier and later with General Electric.
