On July 19, 2021, we had to say goodbye to a very kind and
gentle man, Charles James « Chic » Jackson, in High-Crest
Sherbrooke Nursing Home.
Born in Seattle and raised in Saskatchewan, he was a son of
the late James and Sarah Jackson.
Charlie left home at a very young age and rode the rails of
Western Canada, working at each stop along the way. He settled in
Calgary when he met his future wife of 69 years, Marie
« Gran ». After that, he worked at British American (later
Gulf Oil) for over 25 years. In 1970, they moved to Nova Scotia with
their two children where they established a beautiful home. He enjoyed
gardening, raising chickens, outdoor strolls and Gran’s
lemon pie. He was a very devoted Jehovah’s Witness,
an elder in his congregation. He was a loving husband and an amazing
father and gramps to his kids, grandkids, and
great-grandkids.
He is survived by his son, Bruce (Winnie), Bayfield;
daughter, Debbie Fougere, Tracadie; grandchildren, Brad, Trudy,
Chrissy, Stacey, Brent, Catherine, Beth, and Briana; 12 great
grandchildren; his sister, Nell Drew; and several nieces and
nephews.
Predeceased by his wife, Marie; sons-in-law, Arthur Fougere
and Gerald Myette; sisters, Marie, Rhoda, Virginia, and Florence; and
brothers, David and Cedric.
Cremation has taken place. A visitation for both
Charlie and his wife Marie, who passed away in February, will be held
on Friday, July 23 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. in C.L. Curry Funeral
Home, 135
College Street, Antigonish. Private family
funerals will be held for both.
Family flowers only please. In Memoriam, donations to the
CNIB or Pancreatic Cancer Canada appreciated.
