A MEMORIAL TO
SNORRI RÖGNVALDUR GUNNARSSON
He was born January 31,
1924 and died March 25,
1979. 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.
