Lloyd "Barry" Jessome

Jessome, Lloyd “Barry” - Bass River, NS, June 23, 1946 – August 20, 2016. It is with deep sadness that we, Barry’s family announce his passing after a lengthy illness with Pulmonary Fibrosis and cancer. He never once complained but carried on with his usual unbelievable optimism. He loved his family and many friends. He loved having anyone who dropped by (and we are so fortunate that there were many). You had to have a cup of tea and maybe a cookie and of course a chat! He still considered himself a true Cape Bretoner, although he lived on the “mainland” in Bass River where he married Margaret Faulkner 44 years ago. He served 7 years in the army in which five years were spent in Germany. We discovered ATVing late in life and he enjoyed it with a true passion. Some of his happiest hours were spent on the trails with our ATV friends from the Colchester Five Islands ATV Club. He may not of had some of the doctors approval for many of our last trips but he was doing what he wanted and that is what mattered. And after an enjoyable 80 – 100 kms, we always returned home safe and another good memory made! Gotta love that!! Barry worked in construction for many years and enjoyed working in his own shop, welding, repairing etc. He loved a challenge. He was the son of the late Minnie and Robert Jessome, Sydney Forks, Cape Breton. He was one of nine children, Margie, Adele (Jackie), John “Butch” (Carol), Bobby Ann (Roy), Larry, Peter (Diane), Patsy (Bill). Predeceased by sister, Verle and brothers-in-law, Stan and John. His children, Rick (Lucia), Robert (Gabriela) and Shelly (Chris), grandchildren, Dean, Amber, Ashley (Luke), Max, Zac (Taylor), Tyler, Zack and great granddaughters, Vera and Madison; sister-in-laws, Susan (Lee), Libbi (Wayne) and brother-in-law, Charles (Kim); many nieces and nephews. Memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 24 in the Riverside United Church, Bass River with Rev. Carolyn Rushton officiating. Visitation and reception will follow the service in the church hall. Interment in Riverside Cemetery, Bass River. Donations may be made to Colchester East Hants Palliative Care or the VON. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow Street, Truro. Condolences may be made to the family by visiting www.ColchesterCommunity.com
