JAY FURMAN Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 9, 2015.

FURMAN--Jay. The trustees, alumni, faculty, and administrators of NYU School of Law mourn the death of Jay Furman, alumnus, trustee, benefactor, and, most of all, friend. Jay's legacy is present everywhere at the Law School. In addition to funding the Furman Scholars Programs for students interested in pursuing careers in academia and public policy, the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, and Furman Hall, he supported the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, a death penalty program fellowship, the Center on Law and Security, and numerous other Law School initiatives. He loved the intellectual life of the Law School and had a profound impact on this place and on countless individuals who have taught, worked, and studied here. He will be missed tremendously. We extend our deepest sympathies to Jay's family and many loved ones. Anthony Welters, Chairman of the Board Trevor Morrison, Dean

My condolences to the family as I just learned of Jay's passing. Jay and I go back to PS 99 and Midwood High School. Many a day spent in his fathers basement playing cards. He was at my wedding. I lost contact, my fault, but never stopped remembering the good times.

Dear Jason and Jesse - I was so sorry to hear about your Dad's death. I'm always delighted to come across some information about you and your accomplishments, Jesse as a Judge and Jason, working for Obama. I have many fond memories of you two as bright and engaging boys so I'm not surprised to see what kind of men you've become. All good wishes for you.
