Thomas John Shormis of Middletown entered into rest on Saturday, April 11, 2020 at Schervier Pavilion, Warwick, NY. He was 68 years old.
Thomas was born Oct. 17, 1951, in the Bronx, the son of James and Anna(Fedorchak) Shormis. Thomas was the first in his family to attend and graduate from college.
On Nov. 4, 1972, he married his “honey bunny” Sheila.
They moved to Middletown and Thomas became an active volunteer at his church as an usher. He also served in the Holy Name Society, as well as a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus. Thomas maintained his faith in God despite his diagnosis of early onset frontal temporal dementia. This diagnosis led to his retirement from the U.S. Post Office in the Bronx.

He was predeceased by his brother James and his sisters-in-law Kathleen and Patricia Kelly.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the loving staff at Schervier Pavillion for the care given to Thomas over the years.
