Julian Hebert, passed away peacefully on December 18, 2023 at the age of 89. Julian was born on August 23, 1934 to his parents Fred and Antoinette Hebert. He graduated from Keene High School and was a lifelong resident of Keene.
Most will remember Julian’s love of all things sports. “Mr. Baseball” was an avid Boston sports fan, cheering on the Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, and especially the Boston Red Sox. He loved attending and supporting local sporting events from Keene State College, and The Keene Swamp Bats. He was a fan and volunteer in the Swamp Bats initial season. Some of his fondest memories were from when he was selected to throw out the first pitch before a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, and also when he traveled to Phoenix to see his nephew Bernard Hebert and enjoy some Spring baseball. He enjoyed watching his grand nieces and grand nephews play sports at Keene High School.
Julian worked his entire career at the National Grange Insurance Company on West St in Keene. He retired in 1997.
He was known for keeping in touch with his family and many pen pals, whether it be by telephone or mail. He wrote about many events via letters, photographs and articles that he shared through the years.
Julian is survived by his twin brother Jules, of Keene, as well as many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, and siblings Francis Hebert, Alice Davis, Gertrude Sweeney, Robert Hebert, and Mae Hickey.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, January 26, 2024 at 11:00 AM at St. Bernard Church, 185 Main Street, Keene, NH. Private burial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, Julian requests contributions in his name to St. Vincent DePaul Society at 170 Main Street, Keene, NH 03431, or Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services, PO Box 564, Keene, NH 03431.
