Uly, You entered my life over 40 years ago, and I cherish the moments and experiences in the countless ways you blessed me and my family. Your Love and Devotion to your family was spread to ours as you played many roles to me… as a Father figure, you provided wit and wisdom with your keen insights into human nature….as a Brother, you were supportive and understanding through life's ups and downs…as a Friend, you were loyal and trusted always. Your generosity was tangible but far more richly rewarded than any riches could be measured. Your Legacy with me and my family will provide inspiration forever. My Love Always. Russ Harris

Uly: smiling, generous, peaceful, humorous, story teller, hard working, gentle, helpful, strong, consistent, full of surprises, & finally…Santa at Christmas time! Now you get to smile down on us all every day:)

It has been a blessing for our family to be a part of the Vlamides/Athens family. Our daughter-in-law Lynn has brought us such joy as she shared her family with us. Uly was an inspiration to all of us. From the Turkey Trots, Greek festivals, Florida visits, Uly was always an important part of our group. We loved him so much. We will miss him. But, the memories will be in our hearts forever. Godspeed, Uly! Jon and Linda

To Mary, All Family: It's with great sadness as I look at Uly's smiling face to think he is gone. I met Mary & Uly in Canton, Ohio where they came to run at one of the Canton YMCA's running events. This was before my husband, at the time, Russ Harris and I and our children moved to Dallas, TX. What a great exuberant couple-full of life and energy. Mary and Uly and their family was among our dearest friends in those early days after we moved to Dallas. They welcomed us like we were royalty. We spent many wonderful times in their home, and restaurant. Uly was always a person and friend you could talk to, genuinely cared what was going on and he had a very calming effect on people. He will definitely be missed by so many. My sincerest sympathies and prayers to Mary and all the family! Linda Freeland

I love you all so much….thank you for letting me be a part of such a wonderful family. God Bless!

I came to Ebby Halliday, Realtors 25 years ago and met Uly for the second time. Ed and I were married in May 1955 in Kansas City, MO and our first dinner in Dallas was at the Majestic. Uly met us at the door and took us to our table for the best steak we had ever had. The memory of Uly's homemade bread, pineapple upside-down cake and delcious cookies will always linger in my memory . . . but most of all the friendly spirit that was Uly. When my time comes to enter those Heavenly Gates, I will look for Uly's smiling face to be among those who are there to greet me. We miss you, Uly, but we will meet again. Fran Dolinar

Uly was the greatest friend that I ever had. He taught me how to run and he has inspired me every day through a 40-year running career. In turn I have been fortunate to have trained more than 200 people to run their first marathon. Every lesson that I have shared with them through their running lives came from Uly. We talk about him every day it seems. I will never let his memory vanish from the people that I meet every day through running. His lessons about running and about life will last forever.

Uly and Mary trained me for my first marathon in 1982. They shared their experience and the joy of running. Every day was a new day of running for Uly, and his childlike, funloving energy never failed him or failed to inspire and energize those running with him. The running community owes so much to Uly. He will be missed. Kady
