JAMES EDWARD TEMPLEMAN
May 19, 1931 - November 26, 2019
Dad was predeceased by his wife Elizabeth; parents, Mary and George Templeman of Middlebro; and brother Joe.
He is lovingly remembered by his five children, Tim, Joe (Wendy), Jane (Taras), Susan (Clayton), Selena; his nine grandchildren: Tim, Jackie, George, T.J., Zenon, Christie, Rory, Leesa and Skye; as well as his seven great-grandchildren: Mya, Josh, Madelyn, Evelyn, Sophia, Seeley and Hazel.
Dad grew up in Middlebro, Manitoba, where he met and married Mom, a local teacher. He worked for the Canadian National Railway for 35 years in Ontario and Manitoba as a labourer, then crew foreman and finished his career as a roadmaster, retiring in 1986.
Dad spent his retirement years with his companion Helen in Kenora, Ontario. They traveled to Arizona every fall through spring, enjoying friends and good times on the golf course in the beautiful warm weather.
Dad was such a fun loving guy who loved nothing better than to go golfing, curling or play cribbage with family and friends. A tinkerer by nature, you could always find him in the garage or his garden working on a project.
We will miss your beautiful smile, Dad,
may you rest in peace.
A private family service will be held in the spring in Middlebro, Manitoba, where Dad and his brother Joe will be reunited with their Mom and Dad.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to an Alzheimer Society or charity of your choice.

Jim was my Foreman when I started working for CNR 1968 in Sprague. He was a hard worker and had a Great sense of humour! I learned a lot from him about railroading and doing the job right. I missed him when he retired. He was my boss in Winnipeg for several years leading up to his retirement. He was a friend. My sincere condolences to Jim’s family. - Posted by: Terry Viddal (Friend) on: Dec 01, 2019
