There are people who just make you feel special...that is Art Olsen. He touched so many lives in so many capacities in which he served. He will be missed...Love and prayers for his wonderful family at this difficult time.

Mr. Olsen touched the lives of all who were privileged to be in one of his choirs or musicals. He inspired us all at South Cache with his enthusiasm, his musical expertise, and his love of each person with whom he worked. I truly owe him a debt of gratitude. My entire life has been enriched because of the incredible opportunities he gave me in my youth.

I would like to say a few words about my dear Uncle
Art. He was a war hero, man of God, he brought music to
many lives, a great Santa, full of humor, dedicated and
exceptional teacher, a most wonderful uncle, Truly, a "Man for all Seasons"!

Mr. Olsen had a way of making his each student feel special. I remember him beginning when I was eight years old and would take summer swimming at Sky View. After swim lessons we got to take a music class. He and Mr. Loosle taught it. How I loved that time. I was thrilled when I got to South Cache and got to take music from him there. He always remembered me after I got out of Jr. High and would see him on the streets or at a church function. How I loved him. Heaven received a wonderful...

I loved Mr. Olsen. I think of him often---he was probably my most inspirational teacher.

How Art touched the lives of so many students at South Cache High. We all have special moments of memory associated with him. Thanks Mr. Olsen. My thoughts are with your family at this time.

Speaking at Southern Utah University (2009)

I remember so well Mr. Olsen in Junior High School teaching at South Cache (High) School. He was very talented and influenced me throughout my years... He was a good man.

I loved your father as a teacher and a bishop. Thanks for sharing.

I want you cousins to know how much I loved this man. He was a great Uncle and teacher. I guess God needed someone with a sense of humor in Heaven. He got a good one.

Aunt Helen, thanks for taking such good care of him.
