James (Jim) Gordon Rouse passed away peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife of forty-eight years Mil on Friday, September 28, 2007 at the age of 72 years.
Jim was born in Calgary and married Mil in Banff in 1959. He graduated in Civil Engineering from the U of A in 1964 and completed a Masters of Traffic Engineering at the U of Berkley in 1966. Jim worked for Parks Canada his entire career, retiring in 1990. He loved trains his whole life and would spend many hours following and watching trains. He also had an extensive model railway in his home. As well, Jim loved the mountains and enjoyed fishing, hiking, camping and photography all his life. Jim was a member of the Shawnee Slopes Golf Course and the North Hill Curling Club. In 1991 he bought his dream car, a 1929 Model A Roadster and joined the Stampede City Model A Ford Club where he and Mil made many new friends and were active members. Jim was a proud family man who knew he was to be a Grandpa early in 2008.
