James ‘Jim’ Fullerton Turner, age 85 of Farmington Hills, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, March 8, 2025.

Jim was born on November 21, 1939 in Detroit to Russell and Dorothy (nee Maskell) Turner. He graduated from Redford High School in 1957 and attended Michigan State University, graduating in 1962. While at MSU he met the love of his life, Judy Duncan, and they married on August 17, 1963. The couple was blessed with two children, James II and Ann.

In addition to his family and business, Jim particularly enjoyed fishing, hunting, boating, traveling, and enjoying northern Michigan. He was also a longtime member of the Wilderness Club.
