I got to know Olie through his interest in carnival and International Carnival Glass Asc., he was very well thought of, a kind, quiet gentleman. I have many wonderful thoughts and memories of him.

Orion Olson was a kind man, a good man. It was always a joy to visit with the Olsons, the best neighbors imaginable. An irreplaceble part of our community has been severed, and our thoughts and hearts are with the family now as we reflect upon beautiful memories.

Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9. Extending my deepest condolences to Orion's family. May your cherished memories always bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. May God’s promise of everlasting life in paradise strengthen you and give you peace that is beyond all understanding. Philippians 4:7; John 11:24, 25; Revelation 21:3, 4; Matthew 6:9, 10. Extending my deepest condolences.

In memory of Orion, I wrote a story for him and his family just days before he left for Louisiana and Texas. I hope that he got to read it before he left as sometimes there are no second chances. I will never forget his devotion to his family and his church and in the story, I expressed my appreciation for all he had accomplished in his life here in Richland Center. I will never forget him!

Dearest Jo and family, Orion was one of the gentlest, kind, and most supportive people I have ever known. Both of you have given me the greatest of encouragement with my ministry at Town and Country Presbyterian Church, especially my work with the children of the congregation. I am very grateful to have had one last conversation with Orion while he was in the hospital in Richland Center before you left Wisconsin. Even while he was in that hospital bed, he continued to offer me his great, loving support. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all as you mourn the death of this gentle man that I am priviledged to have called friend.

Jo, I was sorry to learn of Orion's passing. You have our deepest sympathies. I always enjoyed riding up to the end of the valley and having Great conversations with Orion. I will remember his gardening skills in the always beautiful garden he maintained, his stories about his work life in the Construction industry.

Jo & Family, We will all miss Orion. We cannot think of him as we walk through our home and see the many things that he finished for us. These were many and varied things from finishing of and installing the French doors in the Master bedroom, building us 1 fireplace mantel from scratch and whittling out another from the solid oak we provided for him to use to the largest project of fencing in the swimming pool with a woodshed built into the lay out. We will always remember him.
