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 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.
