Feltmate, James Angus "Jimmy", age 67, Cove Road, Pomquet

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Angus "Jimmy" Feltmate.  With his loving family by his side, Jimmy passed away peacefully on July 10, 2021 after a long and courageous battle.

Born in Antigonish, he was the son of the late Maurice and Gwen (Pearl) Feltmate.

Jimmy was a devoted husband, father, and père to his best friend Lily. He believed strongly in family, loyalty and friendship. He was a dedicated employee at Highland Building Supplies for over 40 years. He found peace in nature and the outdoors and was an avid fisherman, hunter, photographer, and gardener. Jimmy loved his baked goods and entertaining friends in his shop. He enjoyed long drives and was a chauffeur to all! A model of patience, he was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. We hope you get your big buck in Heaven, Dad. The Cove Road will never be the same!
