Black Forest (would that be the German Black Forest?).[190]
Ignac' family left for America in 1915. He stayed behind to care for an ailing grandfather
(Josef?) who died about one year later. Ignac, age 18 and alone, booked passage on a
ship bound for America in the summer of 1916. Upon arrival he changed his name to
James Lapikas. He then joined his parents in Lockport (IL) and became bridge tender
on the Jackson Street bridge in Joliet (IL). He also worked for the Texaco Company in
Lockport (IL), and became involved in politics as a precinct committeeman. He
lost his total savings of $1200 during the Great Depression. Later he was a
local Democratic Party leader in Joliet, and worked in highway paving.
He was listed in the 1920 USA Federal Census as Ignatz Lapikas Jr., age 21, , living in Will, Illinois, and in the 1930 USA Federal Census as Ignatius Lapikas, age 31, together with his wife Mary Lapikas, age 20, living in Will, Illinois,

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Monday for James M. Zeka of Sharon. He passed away peacefully of natural causes at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday (7-30-14) in John XXIII Home, Hermitage. He was 84. Mr. Zeka was born Sept. 13, 1929, in Sharon, the only child of Michael and Evelyn H. Lapikas Zeka.
He was a member of Sharon High School's graduating class of 1947. Following high school, he attended both Bethany College in West Virginia, and later Pace University, New York. In his early years, Mr. Zeka worked as an industrial engineer for the former Sharon Transformer Division of Westinghouse Electric Corp. In the 1950s, he began a life in what he would always refer to as the “bar business.” Along with his parents, he co-owned the Royal Café in Sharpsville and would later own and operate several bars called Zeka's. With the help of his father, he built by hand Zeka's bar on High Street in Sharpsville, which is now Thelma's Sports Nook and the former Danny's. Zeka's would later occupy another building on High Street in Sharpsville which is now High Street Pub and Grill. His last bar location was in Greenville.
In retirement, Mr. Zeka so missed the people he served that he took on a part-time job as bartender for Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6233, West Middlesex. Subsequently they made him an honorary member. He was a member of St. Bartholomew Church, Sharpsville. James enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and most of all visits with family and friends, sharing good times, stories and laughter. He was a proud and doting grandfather who had a great sense of humor. He will be remembered for his wisdom and caring, thoughtful ways.
His wife, the former Mary Ann Dawes, whom he married Nov. 4, 1984, passed away Jan. 5, 2002. He leaves his four daughters, Patti Seidner and her husband Richard, Buckeye, Ariz.. Janet Zeka, Hermitage. Susan Zeka, Sun City, Ariz., and Judy Leon and her husband Patrick, Ellicott City, Md., and seven grandchildren, Devon Seidner, Jason Moore, Lourie Gnau, Sean Miracola, Patricia Miracola Brown, and Michael and Isabelle Leon. He is also survived by his three stepsons, Gary, Timothy and Todd Floch. He was preceded in death by his wife and his parents.
