Vernon Michael Andrykew

Vern was born in Dauphin Manitoba, entering into the army in 1951 and was honorably discharged in 1954. Soon after the family moved to Kelowna, BC, where he secured a job in a hand pump rail car checking the railway track for Kettle Valley railway line. Shortly after this, the family moved to Kamloops. Vern worked for Syd Smith and then drove single axle dump truck for Charlie Standish. That’s how the family trucking business got started. Vern loved to fish and hunt, taking most of the neighborhood kids ice fishing in the winter.
