Obituary of Michael Swinton ROSE

August 9, 1932 – Vancouver, British Columbia
January 22, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

Mike Rose, beloved husband of Joan Rose, of Calgary, AB, passed away on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at the age of 87 years.

Mike was born in Vancouver, BC on August 9, 1932 and married Joan in 1954. They raised two boys primarily in Montreal before moving back to Vancouver and eventually settling in Calgary. He joined Air Canada, formally Trans-Canada Airlines in 1953 and flew with them for thirty-eight years, retiring in January 1992. Mike accomplished much through his life and was particularly proud of his many years of exploring the B.C. coast with Joan on their power boat along with enjoying a total of more than two calendar years cruising the world. He will be most remembered for his love of family and dry sense of humour.

Besides his loving wife Joan, Mike is survived by his sons, Gordon and David Rose; along with his granddaughters, Samantha Rose and Danielle (Chris) Gerla; great-granddaughter Olivia; sister-in-law Joyce Zentner; as well as his nieces, Lorrie Crowe and Michelle Hunt.  
He was predeceased by his brother Jeremy Rose, niece Marilyn Cseh, and daughter-in-law Cathy Stazicker-Rose.
