Obituary for
Jerome Calvin « Junior » Paris
Paris, Jerome Calvin – Age 84, Truro, loving known as “Junior” and affectionately called “Bloat” passed away in the Mira Nursing Home on December 12, 2022. Born and raised in Truro, he was the son of Calvin Gibson and the late Phyllis “Patty” Pitts (nee Paris).
He is survived by his sister, Wanda Pitts of Calgary; his aunt, June Harrington (Paris) of Winnipeg; many cousins and extended family members.
Besides his mother, Junior was predeceased by his uncles, Ralph Burton Paris and James Paris and his aunts, Kathleen Cummings (Paris) and Shirley Reddick (Paris).
Junior worked for many years as a handyman in the town of Truro and his specialty was digging holes. He was always open to a full day of work and was always on time.
He enjoyed playing cards (crazy 8’s and 45’s) and listening to music but, his greatest enjoyment was spending time with family and friends. He was a friend to all and his home was open to everyone.
Junior had a love for conversation and was very opinionated. With a quick wit and a sharp tongue, he had a knack for telling it like it is. He had a feistiness and stubbornness that served him well throughout his life.
Junior will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by family, friends and community members.
The family would like to express their gratitude to his caregivers, Kevin and Pat Jackson for their dedication, compassion and exceptional care. The family would also like to thank the staff of the Mira nursing home for their continued support over the last four and a half years.
A celebration of Junior’s life will begin with a visitation on Friday, January 6th at 1:00pm followed by the funeral service at 2:00pm both in Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro, NS with Pastor Williams officiating. Interment will take place in Robie Street Cemetery in the summer of 2023. Webcasting will begin at 1:58pm (AST) and is available along with online condolences at www.ColchesterCommunity.com
