At retirement time Buddy Seydler actually wrote his own epitaph: "I don't regret a minute of my time in Baytown," he said at his party. "I've never been sorry I came this way. The main reasons are that Humble has been great to work for and Baytown has been a wonderful place to live. The people here just can't be beat." Julius's tombstone is engraved "J. R.
