Einar Kloster ’59

Issue

Jan - Feb 2010

Einar Kloster ’59 of Oslo, Norway, passed away March 23, 2009, having fought bone marrow cancer for almost six years. Cancer did not slow Einar down as he and Betty continued to travel, play golf and enjoy their time together. A member of Delta Tau Delta, Einar majored in economics, skied and sailed at Dartmouth. Einar’s business career was impressive, spanning many countries, mostly with Norwegian Philips Organization, a Dutch multinational in the electronics business. His success at turning Philips around earned him the prestigious Order of Oranje Nassau from the Dutch government. His career culminated in being named chairman of Norsk Hydro, Norway’s largest corporation within the energy and mineral fields. He completed the advanced management program at Harvard and served on a variety of corporate boards. He is survived by Betty, whom he married in May 1961, and daughters Anniken ’84 and Elizabeth.
