Julius Robert Petko
September 26, 1923 — May 21, 2017
Julius R. Petko, 93, died of natural causes associated with age may 21, 2017.
Born in Flint, MI, in 1923 he was raised and schooled in the Youngstown, Ohio, area up through and including high school. He also attended classes at Youngstown State University.
In his younger years Julius loved to hunt, fish, pick morel mushrooms, basically anything outdoor oriented. He was immensely proud to be a patriotic American.
Married to Mary M. Hornak in 1948 they settled in Campbell, Ohio, and lived there for the next 34 years. They had one son, Thomas J. Petko.
Julius worked for Youngstown Sheet & Tube for 31 years until it's closure. He ended up being a general foreman helping to run the carpentry department.
After the mill closing he and Mary relocated to a retirement center in Lake Wales, FL, where they spent 16 wonderful years enjoying the sunshine, friends and golf.
As they aged they decided to move to Logan, Utah, to be closer to their son. They lived the last years of their lives in Yorkshire Estates relaxing, fishing and making monthly trips to Ft. Hall to spend Tom's inheritance on the slots.
Mary died in 2008 and Julius spent his last 9 years a widower. Although he moved on he never fully recovered from her death. They were the loves of their lives.
As Julius grew older he needed help to function day-to-day. Although his son helped some three women came forward to care for him when he needed it most: Janette Richardson, Mykelti Campbell and Ashley Bybee. Without these three ladies Julius would have been in a nursing home a lot earlier then he ended up. He loved and cherished all three greatly. Janette, especially, was like a daughter to him and went beyond the extra mile to make sure he was properly cared for.
Mass will be held at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 725 S. 250 E., Hyde Park, Utah on Thursday, May 25, 2017 at Noon. A viewing will be held prior to Mass at the church from 10:30 to 11:30AM and Wednesday evening at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 E Center St., Logan, Utah.
The family would also like to thank the staff of Sunshine Terrace for the wonderful care they provided Dad the last few months of his life. Condolences may be sent online at www.allenmortuaries.net .
