He was certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and he dedicated his life to providing compassionate care to all his patients.

He dedicated his life to his medical practice, retiring in September 2022 at the age of 85, to focus on his secondary passion - the study of foreign languages.

Julio’s memory will be forever cherished by those that had the privilege of knowing him. His kindness, generosity, and dedication to helping others will leave a lasting impact on all those who were touched by his presence. Everyone who remembers Julio is asked to celebrate his life in their own way. Raising a glass of your favorite drink in his memory or performing an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness in his name would be quite appropriate. Memorial contributions to Saint Louis Psychoanalytic Institute (www.stlpi.org) at 7700 Clayton Road, Ste. 200, St. Louis, MO, 63117 to benefit mental health education and services in the St. Louis Community would be admired. At his request, Julio’s family will be having a celebration of life in Peru where they will spread his ashes in the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
