Robert James Chapman, P. Eng. , M.B.A.
September 18, 1931 - November 11, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Robert James Chapman on Friday, November 11, 2016 in Jasper, Alberta. Husband of the late Betty Anne and father of James Chapman, Kate (and Al Curnow), and Margot (and Hugh Macdonnell) and grandfather of Madeline and Riley Curnow, and Betsy, James, Charlie and Teddy Macdonnell. Loving brother of Margot Moore, and son of the late Dorothy and Charles Chapman of Brandon, Manitoba.

Bob's life had many chapters. Born in Edmonton, Alberta he was raised in Brandon, Manitoba where he was an avid golfer and a gifted math student. He graduated in 1953 from the University of Manitoba with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and then moved to Toronto where he earned his MBA from the University of Toronto in the evenings while he worked full time as an Engineer. He spent his entire professional career in the investment industry with important stints at Merrill Lynch, DuPont Glore Forgan, and Royal LePage before branching out on his own.

In 1959, Bob married Betty Anne (n?e Begg) and went on to raise his family in Toronto. He loved skiing and golf: two passions that he passed on to his children. He was a founding member of the Georgian Peaks Ski Club and he continued to hit the slopes well into his 80s. An accomplished golfer, he won several Junior Titles as a youth and continued his love for the game as a member of the Lambton Golf, the Toronto Golf and the Mid Ocean clubs. He was also a dedicated and enthusiastic marathon runner completing the Toronto, New York City and Bermuda marathons numerous times and the Nanisivik Midnight Sun Ultra Marathon twice.

A true westerner at heart, in 2011 Bob moved back west to Jasper, Alberta where he built a new community. He was happy to be back west with his much loved sister Margot, his niece, Nancy Addison and her family. He had good health and happiness until the end of his life.

Bob's joy of life, sense of humour and active lifestyle will be missed by many family and friends. Special thanks to his "Jasper Family" and his friends at Alpine Summit and "around town" for welcoming and filling his final years with laughter, music and well deserved peace.

A memorial service will be held at St. Mary and St. George Anglican Church on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at 1 p.m. for his Jasper family and friends. A private family service will be held in Toronto at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Foothills Memorial Chapel in Edson. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Alpine Lodge Activity Fund c/o the Alpine Summit Seniors Lodge, Box 320, Jasper, Alberta, T0E 1E0.

Buried:
His ashes were sprinkled into Lac Beauvert in Jasper National Park. One of his favourite places.
