Obituaries

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Fred Olsen. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and close ones. I was lucky to know such a great man, and to call him my great uncle. He always knew how to lighten up a room and I loved seeing him come to all the family events. His personality was inspiring and contagious to all those around him. Uncle Fred had a huge heart and will be missed deeply. Death is such a hard thing to grasp and understand but I know that Uncle Fred is in a good place and that he is in the hands of God. There is no doubt that he is having a wonderful time up in heaven. Rest in peace. You will forever be loved by many. Love, Kelly Madison;

My most sincere and deepest condolences to the children of Fred Olson. The many memories I have of my Uncle Fred in life involve his genuine, laughing face whenever he was around loved ones. I can remember him there when I was a kid, the way his face would twitch as he adjusted his glasses, or how he always seemed to smell like metal and caramel candies. He always asked me how I was doing, or what was new in my life. Uncle Fred was a good-hearted man whom I and my family will miss. May he rest in peace forever on. We love you, Fred. Love and prayers, Nichole Dygert;

Mike, Patty, Brett, Jeanne, Mary, Donnie and families, our deepest sympathies to all of you. Fred's infectious smile, laugh and big heart is how we will always remember him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jean & Mike Koziolek
