Date of Passing: May 11, 2012
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryERNIE EINARSSON Surrounded by his family, Ernest Baldur Einarsson of Cobble Hill BC, passed on May 11, 2012. Born in Winnipeg in 1934 to Stefan Einarsson and Kristin Gudmundsottir, he is survived by his loving family; wife Donna, daughter Kathy (Ron), son Bill (Jodi) and daughter Heidi (Raymond); grandchildren Vanessa (Brian), Christina, Frank, Thomas, Spencer, Daniel, Jordan, Jasmine and Jennifer; and great-grandchildren Olivia and Levi. Ernie followed his father into the news business, starting his career at age 16 as a staff news and sports photographer for The Winnipeg Tribune daily newspaper, and then as a TV news cameraman for CBC. Ernie had a love for life, and a wry sense of humour that never left him. Ernie loved his family, friends, and above all, his Lord, calling Him The Big Fella'. Memorial Service was held on May 15, 2012 at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. Please, no flowers. Donations would be gratefully accepted by the St. Andrews Church Building Fund, 531 Herbert St, Duncan, BC, V9L 1T2, or to the Cowichan District Hospital, 3045 Gibbins Rd, Duncan, BC V9L 1E5. Special thanks to Drs. Lisa and Jean-Marie Wilson, and to the overworked nurses and staff at Cowichan District Hospital. Ernie and Donna were blessed with love and support from friends and family, too many to name; you know who you are.
