Erik H. Olsen

Hello,i was a student of erik's in the 1980s for us history. To this day,he remains one of my biggest influences and also a teacher who believed in me as a student and young adult. I wish he was here today,for us to pick on each other we did,reminisce about our days at dear old p.a.,also for him to know i am now a para educator. Thank you,erik for not only making history interesting,but also my favorite teacher to this day.

Mr Olsen you were the best teacher I a ever had. You were an inspiration and I have only the greatest respect for you. Year´s after school you said you felt like you had failed me. I was so lucky to be able to tell you that the opposite was true. You stood head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you Sir, you will be missed.

He was a great teacher of mine in 1977 I will always remember him and his family

I still remember Erik as a terrific guy, a great father and a super educator. Did I forget to say that he was a fantastic hunter? Good!!
What a tremendous loss to all of his family and friends.

Carol, Elise, Amy, Marie, Tom, and grandchildren, I have been thinking of you. I am dressed and ready to come to the service, and my car won't start. I'm sorry I won't be there. You can be sure I am there in spirit! I know you know your husband/dad was so proud of all of you, as well he should be, and loved you dearly! May the memories and love he instilled in all of you hold you and give you strength and light today and forever.

Our sincere condolences to all the family. Eric ( he chastised me a few years ago at the dump for calling him Mr. Olsen) was a fondly remembered part of P.A. I also remember that friendly face when checking into a basketball game, and the encouraging words afterwards; no matter the outcome of the game. God bless.

Dear Carol and family,
Both Karen and I were deeply saddened to hear of Erik's passing. He, as you know, was one great guy who was highly thought of. Especially saddened were both Matthew and Jen who really respected Erik as a teacher. He not only taught them much about history but also about living a good life as well. The world has lost a great person.

Carol and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Erik's passing.
I have known Carol and Erik for a long time and it was fun to watch their children grow up! We have such good memories of our times in Vermont!
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear of Erik's passing. I always enjoyed seeing you and Erik when we'd go to my brother's house summers in the 1970's. He always was ready to laugh and have a good time. My thoughts and prayers are with you Carol.
