RICK MAIO
1958-2010
After a courageous battle with cancer, we lost our dear husband, father, son and friend, Rick Maio, on Tuesday, April 13, 2010.
His memory will always be cherished by his loving wife Orpha, children Logan Maio, Spencer Maio, and Syndey Maio all of Kamloops, and Josh and Diane Chartier of Grande Prairie, Alberta; his best buddy, Cruiser; his mother Norma Maio and mother in-law Edwina Logan; sister Lilianna Maio of Nelson BC; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was predeceased by his father Vincenzo Maio.
Rick was born in Vernon on March 13, 1958. He graduated from Norkam in 1976 and completed his Post Secondary Education in Kamloops and Vancouver, thus starting his illustrious career as a Non Destructive Testing Technician. He worked for Coast Testing and Shaw Pipeline which allowed him to travel to many places in the world. Rick was also a pilot and he once flew to Alaska, camping in the wilderness right beside his plane. Rick met the love of his life, Orpha, in 1979 and together they had two sons and a daughter. As a family they travelled, boated and camped, making many wonderful memories.
The family would like to offer a special thanks to Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Chevallier, Dr. Leko, and the staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.
Friends and family are invited to an open house Celebration of Rick’s life that will take place from 2:00 to 5:00 pm on Sunday, April 18, 2010 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Tea Room.
