Jim was born on September 29, 1940 to Edmund Martin and Bernice Cole of Bay City, MI. After Jim graduated from Bay City Central in 1958, he went on to study accounting at Western Michigan University and graduated in 1962.
Jim and Mary (Dunn) were married in 1963 and remained married for 58 years until Mary’s recent passing earlier this year. They are survived by their 3 children, Eric, Lisa, and Peter.
Jim worked in public accounting before dedicating his career to education as Director of Finance at Detroit Country Day School and Charlotte Country Day School. He was beloved by his colleagues and family for his pleasant demeanor and quick wit and will be dearly missed.

He is survived by a loving family: sisters Anne (Dave) Estep and Karen (Joe) Meeks, children Eric, Lisa (Scott) Somerfleck, and Peter, grandchildren Michael, Desiree (Matthew) Feldpausch, Joshua Somerfleck, Lauren and many nieces and nephews.
