James Dramis Obituary

James Francis Dramis Jr

July 10, 1958 - July 20, 2025

James Francis Dramis Jr., 67, of South Seaville, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at 4:00 a.m.

Born July 10, 1958, in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, James was the son of the late James Francis Dramis Sr. and Veronica Dramis. Growing up in South Seaville, he developed a deep love for his family, James was famously known as the Philadelphia Eagles' number one fan, his loyalty unwavering whether they won or lost.

For many years, James was a popular blackjack dealer at Bally's Park Place in Atlantic City. His engaging personality and friendly demeanor earned him the "Most Charismatic Employee" award on multiple occasions, bringing unique energy and warmth to the casino floor.

James is survived by his loving children Michele and her husband Bronson, Arthur, and Valerie and her husband Vince, his sister Lisa, and his granddaughter Hazel. He also leaves behind his long-time partner, Buppha, and her children, Henry and Hanna, along with many other relatives and friends.

Honoring James's Life.

In accordance with his wishes, James will be cremated. His family plans to spread his ashes in meaningful locations: along the seashore; near the Philadelphia Eagles stadium, a fitting tribute to his lifelong dedication; and at his parents' grave in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A private memorial gathering to celebrate James's life will be announced at a later date.
