John James "Jackie" Nicholson

John James "Jackie"  Nicholson

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John James (Jackie) Nicholson, on Saturday, December 17, 2016.
Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late Paul and Mary Ann (MacNeil) Nicholson. Jackie lived his life in Dominion. A proud coal miner, he started working in local coal mines and later worked at the Machine Shop, retiring in 1988. He loved music and passed on that love to his sons and his grandchildren. In his earlier years he could be found on the baseball field, playing horseshoes or burning up the dance floor with Sharon. Later in life he loved to tinker in the backyard, watch old movies and he took great pride in teaching his grandchildren about life. He was known for his jokes, pranks and storytelling. Above all, Jackie loved his family and he showed it everyday through his kindness toward his loving wife, Sharon, his children, grandchildren and extended family. Jackie is survived by his best friend and love of his life of 53 years, Sharon (Currie). His three sons, Paul (Cathy), Glace Bay; John (Sal), Ottawa; Angus (Margo), Reserve Mines and one daughter, Sharon (Carl MacEachern); Seven grandchildren, Matthew, Dillon, Kim, Lucia, Riley, Connor and Breton. Two sisters, Monica Binder and Shirley Nicholson and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by close friends and relatives, Alma & Adrian Fowler and Myrna & Melvin Shaw.
Besides his parents, Jackie was predeceased by three brothers, Danny, Joe, and George, and three sisters, Pauline MacKeigan, Theresa Sutherland and Catherine (Sis) Richard. We will all miss his sense of humor and support. In respecting Jackie’s wishes, there will be no service. Cremation has taken place under the care and direction of Curry's Funeral Home, 775 Main Street, Glace Bay. Friends and relatives are invited to join in a celebration of “Jackie’s Life” at the family home on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 between 3 p.m. – 5p.m. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.currysfuneralhome.com.
