Julian Luciano Cruz, 89, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on December 6, 2023. Born in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, he was the son of the late Thomas Luciano Gonzalez and Eugenia Cruz Plaza. He was married over 68 years to his beloved wife, Maria Isabel Acevedo Luciano.

He was a former Deacon at San Juan Bautista Catholic Church and was a grateful believer in Jesus. Julian’s family will miss his sense of humor, consistently happy personality, and love of eating bananas, rice and beans, and cheesesteaks. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
In addition to his wife Maria, Julian is survived by 7 children: Nereida Montanez (Eduardo), Joequin, Carmen, Wilson, John, Mary, and Emerson Luciano; 3 sisters: Providencia, Anna, and Miriam Luciano; brother Gilberto Luciano; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family members. He was predeceased by 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and his dear friend Eddie Rodriguez.
Family and friends are invited to gather from 5-7 PM on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 414 E. King St, Lancaster, PA 17602.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was always felt special when my family (Juan y Margarita Arroyo) visited your family. I was especially touched when I was always included when my twin Diana was invited to stay the night. I felt the love. I know you will miss him dearly. Your dad is up in heaven with my parents enjoying God’s glory. All my love to you all. Brenda Arroyo Tirado
