John Furgiuele Obituary

John Furgiuele, age 88, of Buford, GA, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Sally Ann (Isom) Furgiuele, who passed away on November 23, 2024.
Born on April 7, 1937, in the Bronx, New York, John was the son of John Furgiuele and Lucia Dodge. He attended Syracuse University and was a veteran of the U.S. Airforce. He met his future wife, Sally, while working at American Cyanamid in New York, and they married in 1964. The couple built a beautiful life together in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, where they raised their two daughters, before moving to Buford, Georgia. John retired from his career as an Inventory Manager for Turnils.
John participated in many Atlanta Poker Club tournaments and enjoyed team trivia with dear friends. He had a deep passion for horse racing and was forever developing a new "system" to pick the winners! A skilled strategist, John also looked forward to the NFL football season as an opportunity to draft and manage his fantasy teams, a hobby he pursued with dedication.
He is survived by his daughters, Susan (Keith) Minter of Lords Valley, PA, and Nancy Bauer of Jacksonville, FL; grandchildren, Lindsay, Dylan, Anthony, and Evan; great-grandchildren, Lucy and Noah; and his brother, Frank (Monica) Furgiuele of Tennessee.
