<div itemprop="description">KAISER, James (Jim) Henry <br> <br>James (Jim) Henry Kaiser passed away peacefully in Calgary on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the age of 84. <br> <br>Jim was born in Calgary on July 23, 1932 and grew up in the Bridgeland area in Calgary. Jim began his career at CP Rail when he was 16 and retired in 1987 after 39 years as a Mechanic in the Alyth yards. Jim grew up loving fishing, camping, swimming in the city rivers, bowling and later golfing after he retired and until he became immobilized. He loved watching his grandkids play hockey, ringette and baseball and always told them to get a goal for Grandpa. Jim could fix anything you put in front of him and kept busy working on cars, doing woodwork; building chairs, planters, garden ornaments to display in his garden that he loved to keep immaculate. Jim was famous for making Katufulwurst German potato sausage which was delicious! Family was important to Jim, he loved family gatherings and was very proud of his family. <br> <br>Leaving behind is his wife of almost 60 years, Freda Kaiser, sons Brent (Colleen) and Derek (Jeanelle); grandchildren Nolan, Mikayla, Carmen, Chantel and Zach. Jim was predeceased by his son Kevin, sister Ruth Gray and brother Richard. <br> <br>The family would like to express their greatest gratitude to the staff at Brentwood Care Centre for their love and care during Jim’s stay as well as the ladies from Granddaughters Personal Care. <br><br>Dad, Grandpa, Jim, Jimmy, King James, Whitey – your smile and laugh will be missed by all. <br> <br>A Funeral Service celebrating Jim’s life will be held in the Chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home (1605 – 100 Street SE, Calgary) on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 2:00 pm.
