Olson was a great man, great pediatrician and great speaker. I was a pediatrician in Charlotte and knew him there. Then I became involved in the NC Pediatric Society, and Olson was an outstanding participant for many years. He was greatly respected and will be missed. Best wishes to his family, and may we always remember him.

What reminds me of Olsen Huff is my children. I never actually met him. However my beautiful Autistic Children benefitted from so many things that were his works. The services of the Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists that helped them become the successful college students that they are today all work at the center that he helped have built in a division of the Mission Children´s Hospital that is named for him. So every day I wake up and look at them and remember all the great people who helped me through those times by helping my children become who they are today and Olsen Huff is on that list.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Huff's passing. He and Marylynn were part of my family's early days in Asheville. I attended their Sunday school class, which was always inspiring. I later worked on several projects with Dr. Huff at Mission Health System when his efforts on behalf of children and mine on behalf of senior citizens coincided (two of our most vulnerable patient populations)!!
I was so honored to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Huff. We have all lost a gifted, passionate and caring friend, colleague and community leader.

A Wonderful Man who truly made North Carolina (and the world) a better place. He was a role model as both pediatrician and person and his presence on this earth will be sorely missed. May he Rest in Peace

I met Dr. Huff when I was in high school. My good friend is his son David. David and I wanted to travel to Europe after graduation. My parents and the Huffs met at their home to discuss our adventures. The Huffs were very gracious. Dr. Huff was a very nice man. RIP.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Huff. My heart goes out to the entire family. He was such a great, honest, upstanding member of this entire state and all of it´s children and an extremely caring man!
I had the pleasure of being his secretary for many years and he taught me so much about life. I loved him dearly! Debbie Miller
