STERLING – John “Jash” A. Furmanick, 76, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 at UMass Memorial Healthcare – University Campus.

Jash lived his simple life to the fullest. He could often be found at Choey Lee’s enjoying a Mai Tai or two. Above all else, was the love he had for his family. Those who knew him best will remember him for having the biggest heart and as a man who would help anyone in need.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his son, John Furmanick and a sister, Joan (Kush) Morse.
