June 22,1921 - September 29,2016
It is with a heavy heart and
great sadness to announce the
passing of George Inouye due
to natural causes. George was
predeceased by his wife Fukiko
and his son Timothy (Cher). He
is survived by his sons Stephen
(Patricia), James, Paul, daughter
in-law Cher and several loving
grandchildren. George was born
and raised in Surrey, B.C. and
eventually moved to the Interior
of British Columbia where he established
his own logging camp
in Dixon Creek. After marrying
Fukiko in Hiroshima, Japan,
they moved to Barriere in 1965.
George was well known in the
community through his work
and multiple volunteer efforts
ranging from the Lion’s Club,
Fire Department and Boy Scouts
to helping maintain the outdoor
icerink. He was always fond of
being part of the community of
Barriere and would help out at
any time it was requested. There
will be no formal funeral at the
request of George. A memorial
service will be held in early summer
2017. All other funeral arrangements
have been entrusted
to Drake Cremation & Funeral
Services of Barriere (250) 672-
