He was a graduate of Fitchburg High School and a lifetime member of St. Anthony's Parish, Fitchburg. Jack was a World War II Army Veteran serving as a Sergeant and Communication Chief and received a Victory Medal and numerous other recognitions.

Jack was predeceased by his wife Josephine "Jo" (Pandiscio) Femino. They were married 65 years. Jack is survived by his two daughters Stephanie (Femino) Boudreau & her husband, David, of Scottsdale, AZ, and Bridget (Femino) Rosenow, & her husband, Keith, of Newton, MA.

Upon return from the Army, Jack continued work at the family's groceria, Femino's Market in Fitchburg. He then pursued a long professional career in Insurance, retiring as Senior Commercial Insurance Underwriter from Sentry/Middlesex Insurance, Concord, MA. While there, he proudly established the annual Middlesex Golf Tournament held at the Westminster CC where he was a member and avid golfer for several years.

Jack was genuine, kind and loving, a true gentleman and friend; a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. While we feel the terrible void of his absence, we cherish our memories of him. He lived a long and good life and we are all blessed to have been part of his.
