Michael Sushchyk
March 21, 1921 — September 6, 2008
STERLING – Michael Sushchyk, 87, died on Saturday, September 6, 2008, after a short illness, while at his home on 169 Princeton Road. He was attended by his three children at the time of his death.
He is survived by three children, a daughter, Laurie A. Faucher of Jefferson and her husband Charles A. Faucher; a son, Paul M Sushchyk of Sterling and his wife Betty A. (Baca) Sushchyk; a son, John S. Sushchyk of Sterling; six grandchildren, Michael, Christopher and Kathryn Faucher all of Jefferson, and Sarah, Abigail and Michael Sushchyk all of Sterling; and a sister, Anna Hancock of Sterling. His wife of 42 years, Eldora S. (Moe) Sushchyk predeceased him in 1995.
Mr. Sushchyk was a lifelong resident of Sterling, living all of his years on his beloved farm. His parents, Jacob and Katryna, moved to Sterling shortly before his birth on March 21, 1921. He worked most of his life as a dairy farmer. He also ran a road side vegetable stand growing excellent sweet corn. In his later years, he was employed as a custodian for the Sterling Public School System.
He is best remembered as physically very strong but of a gentle nature. He enjoyed people and took a quiet pride in his family and grandchildren. He was always ready to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. His passing is deeply mourned by family and friends.
The family would like to especially thank Dr. George Eypper, of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, his staff, and the Sterling Council on Aging staff and van drivers for their diligent care and attention shown to him during his final years.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, September 8th, in the Miles-Sterling Funeral Home, 100 Worcester Road (Rte. 12), Sterling. A funeral service shall be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 9th, in the funeral home with interment to follow in Hillside Cemetery, Clinton Road (Rte. 62), Sterling. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Sterling Council on Aging Van Fund, P.O. Box 243, Sterling, MA 01564, in order to subsidize senior transportation.
