his life, Jeannie, whom he married on May 6, 1967; the couple shared
a remarkable 55 years together and became the parents of a son,
Travis; over the years, their cherished family grew to include two
grandsons, Travis and Horacio, and a great-grandson, Nicholas;
later in life, Mr. Dubcak and his wife traveled extensively
throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and they also enjoyed
taking cruises; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Dubcak's love for his Czech heritage led to his
involvement in a number of Czech American organizations; he worked

was a member of the board of directors of the Western Fraternal Life
Association from 1976 to 2007, distinguishing himself as its
longest unopposed director; other groups that benefited greatly
from his involvement include the Austin Czech Historical
Association and the Travis-Williamson Counties Czech Heritage
Society; and
WHEREAS, Julius Dubcak enjoyed a life that was rich in
family, friends, and accomplishments, and he will forever hold a
