Julius Henry Helfritsh, Jr. passed away on January 18, 2017 in Covington, LA. 

He was born on June 21, 1934 in New Orleans, LA to the late Julius Henry 
Helfritsh, Sr. and Victorine Menant Helfritsh.

Julius was the loving father of Jacqueline A. Helfritsh, Julius H. Helfritsh, 
III (Jody Davis), and Jeffery M. Helfritsh. He was the proud grandfather of 
Audra Cox and Rae Treptow. Julius was the brother of the late Shirley V. 
Kastrop.

A native of New Orleans and graduate of Warren Easton High School, he was born 
into business as his dad owned Helfritsh Hardware on Franklin Avenue. He moved 
to Mandeville in the early 1950’s and began working with the telephone company. 
Soon after he taught himself to repair TV’s and was known as the TV Man. He 
opened a nightclub in Mandeville in the early 60’s and named it Hotsy Totsy. It 
was a popular bar on the corner of Hwy.190 and Lonesome Road which was known 
then as Hotsy Totsy Road.

His energy and love for the game of baseball led him to coaching several 
championship teams in the Fourth Ward area. He was a highly sought-after 
pitching coach and taught many young athletes.

Being a talented artist, he worked with Mandeville High School’s Football 
program and produced its Football Paper for years. He may be best known for his 
New Orleans Saints posters he drew and silk-screened each year for over a 
decade. His parody of the Saints was enjoyed by many.
