J. Francis Olsen

It was my privilege to care for Mr. Olsen for the past 9 months in our home. He always stood as a pillar of strength to me throughout my life. I thoroughly enjoyed learning of some details of his childhood as well as adult life. There was never a night that went by that he did not thank me for the care he received as well as his precious wife, Mary. He would often ring his bell and ask if I could please check on Mary. Usually it was perfect timing when she needed something or I needed to do...

Faithful, Strong, Steadfast, Unwavering & Firm in the Lord, Christ-like & Precious, "another Saint graduated from earth"
I love you Bro Olsen Sharon McCulley

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. When we think of the 50 + years of knowing Francis Olsen both in the church and business world, we are reminded of this scripture. We have always appreciated his dedication to the church and individuals of the church.

Though we only knew Mr. Olsen from a distance, Jane and I were blessed by his life in many ways, not least due to his support of our college, Hobe Sound Bible College. We are also blessed that one of his granddaughters, Marry Ellen, married into our family. We've been blessed by the lives of each of Mr. Olsen's children and we've enjoyed the friendship of so many of his relatives. We thank God for a life so well lived and we are grateful for his influence for God.

The word gentlemen sums up Mr. Olsen. He reached cross social & economical lines to be a living epistle. I will always have a love in my heart for Francis and Mary

It was my priviledge to have served on the same church board in Binghamton, NY with Francis Olsen.
A finer example of a true Christian gentleman was never in question. The life he lived reflected the love of Christ seven
days a week. Though he will be greatly missed by all who knew him,
we share the blessed hope of a glorious reunion. Let's purpose to be there!

I have fond memories of our Thanksgivings on Posson Hill when the Olsens and the rest of the clan gathered to celebrate. Uncle Francis was always there with his family. Remember the exciting football games, the wonderful food and fun!
Great family ties!

I was not priviledged to know Mr. Olsen personally, but have always admired him for his financial investment into Gods Kingdom. I attended Hobe Sound Bible College and was a recipient of his many gifts to the school.
