James Leslie Foreaker, 75, a native of Gary, Ind., passed away
peacefully Nov. 6, at his home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leslie and Florence
Foreaker, as well as his sister Caryl Lukasik and nephew Jim
Lukasik.

“Jimmy” moved to Arizona when he was 12 years old. As an adult, he
moved to California where he worked in the beer industry until
retirement. During this time he built a house in Lake Havasu and
moved back in 2001. His dream was to retire early and play golf
every day.

Jim was a simple man with not a lot of wants. He was charismatic,
funny and had an infectious laugh; the life of the party. His close
friends encompassed all areas of his life; the beer business,
fishing, hunting, cycling and golf. You knew you were loved by him
if he gave you a nickname. Jim was not without challenges in his
life, but he loved his friends and family and he deeply appreciated
everyone to the very end. Jim was a good man and he’ll be sorely
missed.

Jim is survived by two children, his son Darren Foreaker and
daughter Janeen Straub and his only grandson Jack Straub, who was
his joy and always made him smile.

A memorial service is at 11 a.m., Feb. 11, at the Community
Presbyterian Church, 3450 Chemehuevi Blvd, Lake Havasu City, AZ.

Following the service, a luncheon reception to celebrate Jim’s life
will be at The London Bridge Resort, 1477 Queens Bay in the Sunset
Room.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, to please consider a
donation to Comfort Keepers of Lake Havasu City or Beacon of Hope,
Hospice Care.

Condolences may be sent to the Foreaker/Straub family at
