Not sure what to say?

I know Mr. Olson is remembered as a great coach, but he was also a wonderful teacher. He made math fun, often uttering the phrase "Slicker than snot on a door knob" after solving a problem. I hope he's resting easy.

A class act in every way .

Condolences to the Olson family. Bill was one of the "Magnificent 7," a group of coaches that began the first ever series of national baseball camps. As another of those "7," I always enjoyed being in his company - even when his East team beat my North team in the last-ever US Olympic Festival in Colorado Springs. He was a giant in our ranks. I and the entire baseball community wish Bill peace!

I had the honor of knowing and coaching with Bill during our USA Baseball experiences. Bill really had a Great knowledge of the game of baseball and I really enjoyed our many nights together planning practices and working on game strategy for the next day or week. I learned so mush from him about the game of baseball Bill will be missed and I send my condolences to his family.

Midland Lutheran College kudos. Northwest never really knew what they had. G. Kupfer

You were the best algrebra teacher I had. You made me love math. You were always there to help when we needed help. It was always nice to run into you after graduation. Prayers for your family.
