We Remember
ITO, Toshiya “Toe”
October 17, 1929 — May 4, 2023
Toe Ito passed peacefully at Central Okanagan Hospice House, in Kelowna, BC on May 4, 2023, at the age of 93. Born in Kelowna, BC, Toe grew up working on the family farm. Eventually, he became a plumber and worked for School District 23.
Toe loved to be outside, fishing and gardening. He enjoyed watching hockey and cheering on the Kelowna Rockets. At the casino (a favourite place for Toe), he would often get lucky and come home with some cash.
Toe married on February 18, 1961. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, and grandfather, who would do anything for his family.
Toe is survived by his children Michael (Kim) Ito, Debbie (Dave) Daley, and Terry (Roxzan) Ito; his grandchildren Steph, Spencer, and Takami; siblings Emie (George) Naito, Morio Ito (Nancy Blackmore); and his granddog Mika.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
