Obituary of John C. Tamulis

Jack died suddenly February 17, 2003 and was pronounced at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. His parents, John P. and Ann Tamulis predeceased him; as well as his brother-in-law, Francis Schuler. He is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, Shirley Seaman Tamulis; his sister, Anne Marie Schuler, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; his mother-in-law, Sophie M. Seaman; and her sister, Adeline Roybal; and three nephews. He leaves behind our special poodle, Hershel, and four fun cats. He was a devoted member of St. Ann's Church, Binghamton. Jack graduated from Wyoming Seminary, received his BS from Lehigh University, MS from MIT and his Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State. For over three decades, he enjoyed his career at IBM Corporation and as he said he would, retired to the YMCA where he spent many happy hours with the "Boy's". He was currently president of the Oteyokwa Lake Club, past YMCA board member, past president of Comos and a member of Bridge Groups at the Binghamton Club. Jack will be remembered as a kind, gentle and loving man. Words cannot express how much he will be missed. Funeral services will be held at the J.A. McCormack Sons Funeral Home, 141 Main St., Binghamton, Friday at 11:30 a.m., and at 12 noon at St. Ann's Church, where a Funeral Mass will be offered by Jack's dear friend, Rev. William C. Esposito. Burial will be in Holy Spirit Cemetery, Kattelville. The family will receive friends at the McCormack Funeral Home Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in memory of Jack may be made to the Binghamton YMCA, 61 Susquehanna St., Binghamton, N.Y. 13901, or Lourdes Hospital Foundation, 169 Riverside Dr., Binghamton, N.Y. 13905.
