JAMES R. HAJDUK

JAMES R. HAJDUK age 51. Beloved husband of Elizabeth "Liz" (nee Straub). Devoted father of Hannah and Jimmy. Devoted son of Richard and LaVerne and son in law of the late Richard, Sr. and Norma Straub. Dearest brother of Barbara and Ken (Sandi Knuth) and brother in law of Loretta Cornely, Teresa Straub and Richard Straub, Jr. (Shawn). Uncle, cousin and friend of many. Jim set the bar for fathers and husbands. Whether it was taking Jimmy to practices or being a line judge at Hannah's volleyball games, he gave everything he had to his children. He was a devoted husband who took care of Liz in every way possible. Jim was a loving son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to all who knew him. He was a loyal employee at Vitamix for 36 years. He enjoyed and took pride in his work. He was a professional "Mr. Fixit" at the Dairy Queen. Always lending a hand whenever or wherever needed. You never had to ask, Jim always offered to help. He would give the shirt off his back. We have often referred to Jim as a saint on earth. God blessed us all with a warm, kind-hearted man. He remained true to his faith until his last breath. He has left a void in our hearts that will never be filled. There is no doubt that Jim was led down a straight path directly to Heaven. He will forever be missed. We love you, Jim.
