Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • We are so sad to hear of Einar's passing. The world has lost a wonderful friend and a great man. We have so many memories of when Einar worked at Hecla. The many card games we played and the laughter we shared. He will be missed. We will not be able to attend his service as we are on our way home from Arizona. Our condolences to his family - Posted by: Ben and Yvonne Kjartanson (friend) on: Apr 03, 2012

  • Einar was a good man, and whenever I think of him, I smile and have good memories. I had the privilege of working with Einar for a few summers on Hecla Island. We also lived in the same house for one of those seasons and it was then I really got to appreciate the man for his wonderful sense of humour, his work ethic and all around good nature. My best wishes and condolences to Einar's friends and family. He will be missed. Sincerely, Trevor Fridfinnson - Posted by: Trevor Fridfinnson (Friend) on: Apr 03, 2012
