Julius Joseph Edelmann

December 19, 1935 - October 4, 2013

On Friday, October 4, 2013, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Julius Joseph Edelmann, beloved husband of Sheila and cherished father of Elizabeth, William, and Julius Jr. left us. Although he was not a smoker, after several months of battle Julius succumbed to lung cancer. Julius spent his entire career with Standard Brands, now known as Nabisco Brands. Over his thirty three years of service, he was charged with the production of many major products: Chase and Sanborn Coffee, Tender Leaf Tea, Planters Peanuts. Often called to manage crises, his last assignment was the sale of the Del Monte brand. Julius made friends wherever he went. He was well known for his organizational skills, acerbic wit and ability to take charge of any problem situation. Julius is survived by his wife of twenty five years Sheila Ruggeri Edelmann, his beloved children Elizabeth (Gerard Overdevest) Edelmann, William M. (Ida) Edelmann and Julius J. (Shannon) Edelmann; their mother, Mary Lou Edelmann; his two brothers Karl and Richard Edelmann, four step-children Paul, Peter, Lisa and Mary Colletti; eight beautiful granddaughters and an adventurous great-grandson.
