James Joseph Rezabek, 89, of Lombard IL and proud U.S Army Veteran, passed away on June 20, 2024. Born on September 4, 1934, in Edwardsville, IL he was son to the late Joseph W. Rezabek and Charlotte Loretta (Wolf).
After his military service, he pursued an education at Seton Hall University, which set the stage for a successful career as a Research Chemist at Sherwin Williams Paint Company.
A man of faith, James was a member of St. Mel Church. His commitment to his spirituality was evident in his daily life and interactions with others.
Outside of his profession and spiritual life, James had a passion for ballroom dancing with his lifelong friend Vivian Linden. This hobby brought him great joy.
