Joan and family, we are so sorry for your loss and have you in our thoughts and prayers. Dennis and I were friends from first grade until graduation--and after, and he always held a very special place in my heart. I will miss seeing his smirk, and miss his teasing. Our deepest sympathy to you.

My condolences to the family. I remember Dennis as one of the best teachers in Dawson High School in the late 1960's...always positive and patient. I enjoyed going to his classes.

I was just speaking to a neighbor/friend of his about 2 weeks ago (who lives SW of Alex) and we were talking about how nice and brilliant Dennis was. I was shocked to see this week that he had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss!

Joan and family-
My folks shared the news about Dennis' passing. I am so sad to hear this. One of my very favorite teachers - I'll never forget he brought me snow samples all the way from Big Sky, MT for my project. Your friendship with my folks has always been treasured and I know your support has been appreciated. The two "Mr. Olson's" we're kind of two peas in a pod! Blessed be his memory. He will be greatly missed. Sending you hugs, love and prayers for comfort and healing. Martha (Olson) Ragan

Dear Olsons-- Denny was a favorite & respected teacher, my elementary school basketball coach and a good friend. He and my dad, Ken, also shared a great, ongoing friendship. I can see Denny and Ken, together up there in heaven, using their metal detectors in search of rare coins! --Roger Seeling

To the Olson family, How incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Olson. He holds a special spot in my heart. I'm glad he put up with me and my antics in high school with some gentle (one time, stern) guidance. My prayers for your family that He may give you comfort, peace and strength in the days to come.
