I did not have the opportunity to meet Mr. Olson, but know enough from my boyfriend, Jody Giachello, to say he was a kind, wise, dedicated, and hard working gentleman. Jody admires his gramps and respects all that his has learned from him. Jody continues to construct and dedicates time to his garden just as his Gramps aspired to do at the beginning of the year. The Giachellos' have accepted me into their family and have been a vessel to me in becoming a Christian and accepting Jesus in my heart. Through close association to the Giachellos', Gramps and the Olsons' feel like a family to me, my prayers and condolences go out to them during this time. I can peacefully say that Howard Olson is in a better place.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Olson family. Uncle Howard was a wonderful man, with a very kind face and smile.I have many memoeries growing up, my last memory wasn't too long ago when we had Dad's (Ernie Burkhardt,jr) 80th b-day party and watching Howie and dad really enjoy the lobster feast.. it was a wonderful day. Howard will be missed by all.
