Fiko was born on Mayne Island, put in an internment camp in Hastings Park, where his family volunteered to move to the Okanagan. They ran a market garden and at a young age he started working with wood, eventually becoming Production Manager for CTP then Slocan. After retiring in 1990, he loved travelling and deep sea salmon fishing. In his declining years he spent time with his family and his puddycat. No flowers at the request of the family but donations to Trinity Hospice at Overlander Extended Care would be greatly appreciated.
