Jim became a Chartered Accountant in 1970. He started his career at Clarkson Gordon in Windsor (now Ernst and Young).

After a wonderful 25th Wedding Anniversary trip with their sons, Jim and Marti caught the travel bug, exploring many exciting destinations over the years. His family will miss him dearly.
A private graveside service and interment will take place. A larger celebration of Jim's life will be announced once it is safe to gather again.
