James J. Vojtek

JAMES J. VOJTEK, age 87; beloved husband for 67 years of Marilyn (nee Minadeo); loving father of Pamela Crane (Roderick) and James M. Vojtek (Laura); devoted grandfather of Nicholas and Matthew (Josie) Vojtek; caring great-grandfather of Amelia; cherished son of the late Joseph and Mary (nee Kardamis) Vojtek; dearest brother of Joseph and the late Richard and William.

James was born on August 19, 1938, in East Cleveland, to Joseph and Mary. He was a lifelong resident of the Cleveland area and graduated from Charles F. Brush High School in 1956. He met the love of his life, Marilyn, and the two were happily married in 1958, spending 67 years at each other's side. They decided to start a family together, and James helped bring two wonderful children into the world. He was the patriarch of his family, a role which he took great pride in. He also took great pride in his occupation as a bricklayer, and he was a proud member of Bricklayers and Masons Local #5 as well as one of their pension fund trustees for many years. In his free time, James enjoyed golfing and tending to his vegetable garden. What brought him the most joy in life though, was spending time with family at the family cabin on the York River in Ontario Canada. James was a generous man who was always there for those who needed him. He was a good friend to many. James returned home to heaven on September 3, 2025, leaving behind a legacy as a man who worked hard and truly loved his family.
