Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJAMES AISAICAN-CHASE (JAMES DAVID CHASE) James passed away peacefully on June 22, 2018. James was born in Saint John, NB on December 20, 1945. He was predeceased by his father Walter; sisters, Gwen and Mary; and his first wife. He is survived by his mother Phyllis; brother Walter; three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. James began a new life with his wife Anngylla Aisaican, and is also survived by three stepsons, stepdaughter and step-granddaughter. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, swimming, scavenging for periwinkles, hiking, and time spent on the rivers and beaches of the Maritimes and the mountains in Alberta. During his life he treasured time with family and the mentorship in his earlier years by Father MacDonald in Graphology; which he mastered and went on to develop his own method of "Symbolology". This passion led to his own Shaw television program "Yours Truly" and a Jacques L'Quille column in the Winnipeg Sun, both on handwriting analysis. He went on to also write a column in the regional weekly newspapers in southern Alberta. He had a long career as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in both the Canadian Air Force (21 years) and Air Canada (19 years). During his entire life, he was actively involved in the Catholic church, supporting his community and helping others; inventing new aviation designs (no stall propeller) and advocacy (opposition to red light cameras operation Wise-Up Winnipeg). His journeys to Medjugorje and participation in the Nathanael group brought him peace and joy, which he shared in gifts of prayer and Rosaries.

I love my grandpa through bad times and good, he was an awesome man, always offer rosaries to everybody very helpful and kind and he always knew how to cheer me up when I was sad and we always laughed about his cancer to make him feel better and I hope he’s in a better place. - Posted by: Milla Legault (He was my grandpa) on: Jul 31, 2020

We only knew Jim for a few years. He soon fell sick. Throughout his sickness he kept up his faith and good spirits. Jim was a quiet person yet he was happy to share his conversion story to the "Friends of the Holy Eucharist" of which he was a member. Everyone in the group was impressed by his sharing. Jim often brought rosaries back from his pilgrimages to Medugorje to give out to people. One time he jokingly said he should hang up the rosaries inside his jacket so that when he opened it people could choose the rosary they want, like a real salesman. We can imagine Our Lady meeting Jim and saying to him, "Well done, my good and faithful son." May Jim rest in peace and may he continue to intercede for us. - Posted by: Claire and Betty (Friends) on: Jul 05, 2018

I remember meeting Jim years ago when he first bought that little house on Riverton. I thought he was crazy when he told me his plans to put a second story on the house and I thought he would never succeed. Well…. that's when I learned the brilliance and determination of Jim's mind. Today the house is a bit of an engineering marvel and a great teaching point to me about persistence. Don't think I have ever met another person as unique as Jim and I will cherish our conversations and his memory until we meet again. - Posted by: Tim Sullivan (friend) on: Jul 01, 2018

Our deepest condolences to the family. Since we are unable to attend in person we will be saying prayers and lighting a candle in Jim's honor. We only met Jim but twice but we thoroughly enjoyed his input to our short family get together. May you Rest In Peace James. Smile down and guide Anngy with your everloving spiritual guidance. With many hugs. Prayers. Uncle Bert and Aunty Brenda - Posted by: Bert and Brenda Favelle (Family ) on: Jun 30, 2018
