He was a coal miner and worked in several Cape Breton mines for 35 years, until his early retirement due to health issues. Jimmy was an avid fisherman and hunter, and had several trips with his best friends. Jimmy loved his family dearly. He always had time for each and every one, and could be counted on (with Theresa) as our babysitter. He loved to play a joke on anyone, laughing with us all. His love of music was evident to all, as one could often hear him playing his guitar, or listening to traditional Cape Breton and Newfie music, either on tape or his much loved Channel 11. Although he was unable to cook the last four years, he could always find one or another cooking show to watch. Jimmy is survived by his wife of 57 years, Theresa (MacAulay) Jessome; children, Lorna (Wayne) Willison, Orrillia, Ontario, Bernadette (Eddie) LeBlanc, Alex (Sirena), Millville, Mary Jessome and Tammy Jessome, both of Sydney Mines. Jimmy was Papa to grandchildren Steven and Michael Willison, Natalie McGean and E.J. LeBlanc, Darren Clark, Jerry and Shaun Jessome, Christopher and Chad Jessome, and Brian Bradley. Jimmy was Popo to great-grandchildren Andrew, Austin, Allexx, Maddi, Garrett, Emily, Caitlyn, Hudson, Raiden, Alexis, Breton and Brooklyn, and uncle to several nieces and nephews. Also surviving are brothers and sisters Cameron (Brenda), Joe (Judy), Betty, Marie (Carl), and Vivian, sisters-in-law Elaine, Mary, Mae and Patsy. Besides his parents, Jimmy was predeceased by his in-laws Malcolm and Sarah (Sadie) MacAulay, his daughter Natalie, sisters Jeanette and Lorraine, brothers Alex and Austin, brothers-in-law Tom Bonnar, Bud Bonnar, and Michael Jessome, best friends Phillip Warren, Charlie Edwards and Mary Ann Boutilier. Special thanks to the wonderful staff of the County and Northside Homemakers, and to the VON. All of you helped fill the last four years of Jimmy’s life with joy and laughter – truly special people.
