James "Jim" Lukas Jr, 54, of Buckroe Beach, decided he had deep fried his last Rockfish on Sunday, March 15th, 2015. Born in Buffalo, NY, he came to his senses and moved to Buckroe Beach 35 years ago where he met his match and wife of 31 years, Dede. He was the founder and owner of Lukas Painting Inc. Jim busted his hump into a beautiful home on the water where he enjoyed fishing, oystering, being with his family and entertaining and belittling his many friends. Jim loved life, and now he's gone to a better place, where he impatiently awaits his antagonist of 31 years, Dede, his son Jimmy, mother Ellen, sisters Jill, Lynn, Susie and Beth, brother Bill and his in-laws, the Mardis family. Jim's obnoxiously large clan of loving "loozah" extended family and friends will miss him dearly. His family will be receiving guests at R. Hayden Smith Funeral Home in Hampton, VA from 1:00- 2:00pm on Saturday, March 21st with memorial service to follow. The family requests that you come as you are, in casual attire. In lieu of flowers, you may make donations in his memory to lifenethealth.org or alz.org (Alzheimers' Association).
