John Firkins, 84, of Cobble Hill, British Columbia, died March 31, 2026.
“John was most happy when he was fishing on the Pacific Ocean, playing very competitive duplicate bridge, and golfing. He was most proud when his daughters received their terminal degrees. He had a discerning palate for a good, bold red wine. He will be missed by his family and the many friends he made throughout his lifetime.”—Sharon Firkins, wife
