Julien was born in Porthill on October 28, 1933 to Frank and Edna Bucher. After graduating from Bonners Ferry High School in 1951, he attended college at the University of Idaho for two years, and then joined the US Air Force as a reserve officer.

Throughout his life, Julien had a passion for his community. He was proud to be a citizen of Boundary County, and served it through his involvement in numerous organizations and committees. He loved Boundary County's many facets, from its mountains to its people, and he was always ready to lend a helping hand, to stand up for what he believed to be right, and to bring people together to work towards a stronger community.
He lived his life with integrity, commitment, wisdom and humanity. His enthusiasm for learning was intense and enduring, and afforded him a full life with hobbies including astronomy, geology, hand-loading, airplanes, photography, philosophy and history.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Vince. He is remembered by wife Nancy, children Janet (with spouse Alex Alviar), Joy, John and Mike, and many relatives and friends.
