James Vamvaketis

Your dad was the best. Your mom and dad were the first people we met in DeRuyter 35 years ago. We will never forget them. Our condolences Christine.

Christine, I´m sorry I couldn´t be there I´m sure you will understand once it all comes out. I was told wasn´t allowed and that´s fine. I adored your father never a day when we were there he didn´t make me laugh and make me feel like I wasn´t part of the family. I send you my condolences and hopefully see you soon. Gina Smith

So many memories of amazing summers at the lake! We will always remember Sue bringing home this unique character- Jimmy from NYC! Never forget that first 4th of July when he showed us "Puerto Rican" fireworks- fine steel wool tied to rope, lit and spun in the air! Our fam still talks about all those good times and remembers all of you with Love God Bless you all - Anne, Luke, Jamie and Family

David and I feel so honored to have enjoyed Jimmy's presence as our next door neighbor at the lake. For 31 years we have laughed so much with him and have always appreciated his deep friendship and care for us and our family. Just can't even comprehend life without him at the lake and the great visits we have enjoyed over the years. God bless all of you, Chris, Mel and Makenzie. Our love surrounds you as you process the tremendous loss. May you find comfort in the great memories you...

Tom and I have know Jim for many years, he is a character and so loved. I will miss walking through DeRuyter Village with "my littles" and hearing him call out "hello grandma", in his unmistakable voice and demeanor.

Jimmy, you will never be forgotten and always in our heart. The memories we have shared since my teenage years miss u Rosemarie and Steven Hulslander
