In Memory of James Vartelas
The Valley Community Foundation (VCF) extends its sincerest condolences to the Vartelas and Stamos families on the passing of James P. Vartelas Sr., a lifelong Valley resident and proud member of the Ansonia community. Mr. Vartelas will be remembered for his deep roots in the Valley, his love of sports, and his dedication to family and community. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched and the values he shared with those closest to him. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations in Mr. Vartelas’ memory be made to The John & Paraskeve Vartelas “Agape” Fund at VCF, 253-A Elizabeth Street, Derby, CT. 06418.
