POLAND - Prayers will begin Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Poland Chapel, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at 10 a.m. at the Holy Family Church, for James F. Martin, 78, of Sunrise Assisted Living, who died Friday morning at Sunrise surrounded by family.
James was born Aug. 31, 1934, in Reading, Pa.
He graduated high school from the Shenandoah Valley Academy, where he was Class President and later graduated from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. He began his over 40 year career in the insurance industry with the New York Life Insurance Company, becoming a Certified Life Underwriter, serving as a general manager and later as an instructor for agent licensure and continuing education.
He was a member of the Holy Family Church and the Retired Managers Club of New York Life.
His first wife of 52 years, Dorothy Chapay Martin, preceded him in death in 2010.
He is survived by his wife, Helen Martin, whom he married 15 months ago; his mother, Susan Mae Martin of Edmund, Okla.; two daughters, Kim Howard Vari of Poland and Heidi Martin of Boardman; four grandchildren, Rachel and Alex Vari and Dillon and James Gennaro; and a sister, Joyce Peters of Edmund.
He was also preceded in death by a daughter, Susan Lynne Martin; and a brother, David Martin.
James will always be remembered for his complete devotion to his family. There are no words to adequately describe how much he was loved and how much he will be missed. Anyone who was ever blessed to know him will always remember his intelligence, integrity and character. His greatest legacy is the love he had for his family.
Mr. Martin's family would like to thank Dr. Sandy Naples, Dr. Matthew Cooney and his staff at University Hospital, Sunrise Assisted Living, Hampton Woods and Hospice of the Valley for their compassionate care during his illness.
Donations in Mr. Martin's name may be made to Flat Rock Care Center, 7353 County Road 29, Flat Rock, OH 44826, where his grandsons, Dillon and James Gennaro reside.
Friends may call from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Poland Chapel.
