Michael Chauncey "Mike" Martin, of Chestnut Hill
Michael Chauncey "Mike" Martin passed away suddenly Saturday, July 2nd, 2022 in Boston Massachusetts at the age of 70.
Mike grew up in the 50s and 60s, the oldest child in a gregarious active family, in a neighborhood booming with kids and lots of things to do.
Mike was smart and engaging, with a quick and very dry sense of humor. Mike, with his close group of friends at Borah High, was active in student government, "acted" in school assembly plays, participated in school sports, and was a skilled skier. Mike attended the first Humanities class at Borah, sparking his lifelong love of books.
Mike spent many summers working alongside his grandfather, Loyal Campbell, on the Circle C Ranch in Meadows Idaho herding cattle on horseback, managing the valley irrigation water, bailing hay, driving an old International Harvester pickup truck, and developing a deep affection for the area and the memories from that time. Founded in the 1860s in central Idaho, the Circle C was a large cattle ranch holding to the old west traditions.
His life would forever change when in 1970, after graduating from Borah High School, Michael moved from Boise to Seattle launching his life of learning. First, graduating from the Honors Program at Seattle University in 1973, then earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. While at Michigan he began teaching and met Gail, also a Ph.D. candidate, and they were married in 1989.
For over three decades, Michael, Gail, and their boys enjoyed summers at the lake in upstate Wisconsin. Michael loved to fly fish from his kayak using flies he tied over the winter months.
At the time of his death, he had been an active faculty member at Boston College for over 30 years including several years serving as Associate Dean, Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences.
He leaves behind his wife Gail Hoffman, and their sons Martin Hoffman & Arthur Hoffman. He also will be missed by his siblings Vanessa Lang (Craig), Virginia Pellegrini, Vivian Martin, & Rick Martin (Bea), Gail's siblings (Ruth Major and Susan Francesconi), and several nieces and nephews.
His parents, Chauncey "Mickey" and Berniece Campbell Martin preceded him in death.
A family memorial will be held at the Meadows Valley Cemetery in the summer of 2023.
