Not sure what to say?

A good man with a good soul who passed on those wonderful traits to his children.

Always Mr. Olson to me (of course). A fair and honest soul who lived a wonderful life.

Roger, so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. We remember him fondly. As you well know my mother and your dad had a great friendship as well as their working relationship at Fremont junior high. She enjoyed working for Vern. Debbie and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Vern, as a parent and educator, made Parkrose the wonderful community it was to grow up in, in the 60's and 70's. Our thoughts are with his family. The McEnany family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Vern will be deeply missed - a very kind, creative, intelligent man who celebrated life and lived it fully with his loving family. Thinking of you all with love.

The place we worked our first teaching job has to be a most significant milestone in our life. Vern was a part of that time and I will never forget him. I send our love and prayers to the Olson family.

So sorry to read about Mr. Olson's passing. I grew up with his son Mark, and Mr. Olson was our Principal at Heights Jr. High in Parkrose. Always a very fair man, I remember his easy smile and calm manner. Thoughts and prayers to Mark and the rest of the family.
