Julius Krall, 84, passed away with his family by his side on February 9 at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Mr. Krall was born in Herend, Hungary on August 10th, 1934 to the late Michael and Elizabeth (Arki) Krall. Julius immigrated to the United States as a displaced person of war in early 1951 and settled in Elizabeth. He relocated to East Brunswick and to Whiting before settling in Somerset with his daughter.
Julius was the proud owner and operator of The Raritan Bakery in Edison and The Dayton Pastry Shoppe in Dayton. He loved the outdoors, especially fishing and skiing. Julius was a devoted father, not just to his children but to anyone he met; he was a natural leader to everyone. His devotion to his business and to his family was unmatched; he leaves a legacy of love, hard work and a passion for baking.
