Roger Olson

Dear Debbie, I´m sorry I was not able to attend the Celebration of Roger´s life. I offer my sincerest condolences to you and all the family. All my best, Bob Coldren

Roger was a good man. I met him through the refugee resettlement program when resettling my fellow country men and women, at the International Service Center. He was a powerhouse and never gave up no matter the weather or task. Roger was very kind. He would go out of his way to help those in need and to stand up for justice. I once had the pleasure of running into him at a protest for Palestine. It was cold and rainy, and yet there he was standing tall, with his sign, talking to other...

Lots of memories of good times at the bridge table with Roger and Debbie.

Roger Olson was one of the kindest souls we have ever known. As a volunteer with the International Service Center, he served Afghan refugee families with quiet compassion and unwavering dedication. Even as his strength faded, his heart never did-he continued checking in, making sure families would be cared for until his very last days. Roger lived to serve others, right up to his final breath. His kindness will live on forever in the lives he touched.

As a real estate attorney for 30 years I recall Roger´s work very well. If a property had a "Roger Olson" inspection report, it was like the seal of approval. Part of his legacy is in the many dreams of homeownership that he helped to come true. Sympathies and prayers to his family.

My heart goes out to his lovely wife, Debbie, as well as the entire family. All will be in my thoughts and prayers.
