Ashburnham – Peter E. Oksanen, 49, of Ashburnham, passed away suddenly in his home on Thursday, May 19, 2016.
Peter was born in Fitchburg on December 28, 1966, a son of William and Patricia (Sykes) Oksanen. He graduated from Fitchburg High School in 1984 and promptly went to work at Micro Tool Inc. in Ashby, MA, the family business. The business was later sold, and Peter joined J. C.

He was known for his generous, welcoming nature and lively sense of humor.
