Mons Aase

When Mons was 2 years old, the family moved to Nordstrand, near Oslo, Norway. When he was 20, he boarded the ship Stavangerfjord and immigrated to Canada. The first day on the ship he met Elsa Lovaas, they really hit it off and were married a year later.

In November 1959, Mons, Elsa and their infant daughter Christine in a laundry basket in the backseat, moved to Prince George. Mons had accepted a job as the Manager of W.M Tire where he worked for 9 years. Then he started his own accounting practice working side by side with his wife Elsa which he continued until his retirement in his 80's.

Mons and Elsa were active volunteers in the Prince George community their whole life. They were both very active in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Sons of Norway, and Mons was the president of the Yellowhead Rotary Club. He was recognized by Rotary as a Paul Harris Fellow.

They enjoyed all types of travel from camping, ocean fishing, flying to Europe, Hawaii, Mexico and Iceland. Their last big trip was to take their trailer and 2 poodles from Prince George to the northern tip of Newfoundland to see the Leif Eiriksson statue in L'Anse Aux Meadows.

He leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 66 years Elsa; daughter Christine Sullivan (Bill) and her children Haakon, Erik and Sonja; son Mons Jr. (Charlene) and his children Heidi, Mons III (Melissa), Indianna, Emily and Isabella; honorary Bestefar to Charlene's children, Kristenna, Connor and Desi and son Erik (Heather) and daughter Vanessa. Also three great-grandchildren, Jordan, Nicholas and Chloe. One brother, John-Arnt Aase, in Oslo and numerous relatives in Norway.
