Snorri was born in Akureyri, Iceland, his parents were Gunnar Snorrason and Inga Gud- mundsdottir. He is survived by his loving wife Asthildur Tomasdottir, and his son Sturla Tomas, his mother, two brothers, Sverrir and Gunnar and two sisters, Svanhildur in Iceland and Inga Kristin Henrikson, in Calgary, Alberta. We first met Snorri and Asthildur in 1961. They had arrived in Vancouver, B.C. in 1957, making their permanent home there. We became good friends from the beginning. We were all interested in maintaining Icelandic culture on the west coast, so we met frequently to discuss and plan, and have fun together. Snorri was President of the Icelandic Club “Strondin”, in Vancouver, B.C. Charter member of the Icelandic Club of Greater Seattle, President of the Scandinavian Businessmens’ Club Van- couver, and a lifetime Honorary member of The Icelandic National League. Snorri was an architect and master builder for several years in Vancouver and vicinity. He built private homes, apartments, and shopping malls, as well as remodelling homes. He was very imaginative and clever in design and interior decorating, as well as a good builder. He became very successful in his business after a few ups and downs. Snorri and his wife travelled extensivelý throughout their life together; especially in the last several years. While in Iceland he learned master ship- building, and later they bought a yacht in England, which became their pride and joy. He took a special course in seamanship, to be able to cruise to many different places. One of his favorite countries was Mexico. There he put his artistic talent to work. He studied the art of painting, leaving a number of pic- tures, both in oils and water colors for his family and friends to enjoy. Snorri was a wonderful host. He loved entertaining and their home was and still is always open to friends and relatives. He was very helpful to all Icelanders who came to Canada seeking em- ployment. We miss our dear friend deeply, as yet time has not healed our loss and sorrow; but we still have and enjoy our friend Asthildur, whom we love dearly. May ‘God bless Snorri’s memorv.
