It is with great sadness that the family share the loss of Kazumi (Tricky) Oikawa on July 22, 2013 at the age of 82 years. Tricky leaves behind two children, Dean (Carole Anne), and Scott. He was predeceased by his wife Mary, father Masami, mother Kanako, and brother Kim. He is survived by one sister, 8 brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Tricky was born on March 28, 1931, on Lion’s Island in New Westminster BC., the second child and oldest son of what was to be eventually 11 children.

He spent much of his life at the ball diamond, curling rink, golf course, and favorite fishing hole
