James, age 75 at the time of his passing, was predeceased by his wife of 42 years, Margaret Asman, and is survived by his sister, Frances Smith, and son, Charles Asman. Born in Penticton, British Columbia, James moved to Southern California as a young boy with his family. He received a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Cal State Northridge, then served and was discharged honorably from the US Army. Thereafter he married Margaret Asman (née Rideout), had a son Charles, and relocated his new family to the Vancouver area of Canada. There, he co-founded a commercial photographic lab, Spectra Colour Services, that he and his business partner Dave Sparks operated for over 30 years. In his later semi-retirement, James divided his time between computer programming and watching Jeopardy and the Simpsons, all while doting on his beloved dogs, Sam, and later Muffin & Biscuit. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends and neighbors, especially the Green Timbers dog walking troop."<br><br><br>James Asman's Classmates.com profile<br><br>"I graduated from Valley State (business/finance) in 1967 and very shortly thereafter was drafted into the army. With my experience in photography, I was awarded a photographic MOS as a photographer, that ultimately led to assignment to Germany. I took an overseas discharge from the army in 1969 and stayed in Germany for another couple of years. Followed F1 racing in that time, but then returned to LA, now married with child in 1972. After a year or so back in LA, we moved to Vancouver, B.C.<br><br>In Vancouver, I got a job in a commercial photo studio. This led to myself and a coworker setting up a a photo lab servicing corporate clientele. Basically, we went for about 20 years operating at our productive capacity. We resisted expansion and continued to "cherry pick" the market as it were. After 20 years my partner retired as he was 8 years older than me and I soldiered on, albeit, the writing was on the wall. The digital world was drastically reducing the demand for our services. I simply closed the doors in 2004 and retired. The company still exists and I do a little bit of computer work that finds me, mostly to do with programming laser printers, and I bill that through the company.<br><br>My son got his masters in physics here at UBC and now lives in southern California. I am now widowed and still live in the Vancouver area with my two dogs. Life is good."<br><br><br>Hope you're all safe and healthy during this damned outbreak. <br><br>Charlie.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:c23a5cf721cd6b05b60b52641c95a61f7424543e@zimbra" data-mce-src="cid:c23a5cf721cd6b05b60b52641c95a61f7424543e@zimbra"></div></div></body></html>
