Katie, Jim Jr., Dave & Family,
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have not had contact for many years but will always remember Jim for his integrity, professionalism and his enormous generosity. I hold fond memories of Flag Island fishing trips and beautiful Hawiian sunsets. As we say in the business "Jim Rouse was a prince of a man" and he will be missed greatly.

Our Condolences to the Rouse Family
