Obituary for
Charles J. Furchner
In loving memory of Charles J. Furchner who passed away Thursday, June 15th, 2017 at Extendicare Falconbridge at the age of 82. Beloved husband of Joyce (Fellows) Furchner predeceased 2000. Loving father of Jim (Anne Derks), Bob (Dianne Cherney), Bill and Charlie. Cherished grandfather of Lisa Carruthers (Bryan), Laura (Taylor), Charles (Stacey), Sarah, Amelia, Barrett and Rohin. Predeceased by his parents George and Alice Furchner, brother Carl “Bud” and sister Nancy. Charles worked for Inco for 30 years and retired to spend time at “the farm” on Penage Rd. and his camp on Lake Penage. He loved spending time with family and friends going for walks in the bush, teaching his grandkids how to play tennis on his grass court who always kept him on his toes. Special thanks to the wonderful and caring staff on the 3rd floor at Extedicare Falconbridge. In keeping with his wishes, there will be no visitation or service at this time. A celebration of Charles’ life will be held later on this summer. If desired, a donation in his memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society Sudbury-Manitoulin Chapter.
