We've had the honor and special privilege of knowing the Olson family through many experiences. The Olson's were not only classmates of mine, but we also served a tour together at USMA. It was during this tour that Holly also delivered my youngest daughter and we worshiped together at the same church. Needless to say, our two families came to know each other in a special way. Our personal as well as professional paths were intertwined. Rob's professionalism and sense of humor will never be forgotten. You could always count on Rob greeting you with a smile and he was always upbeat about everything. Rob's belief in Jesus Christ was always seen in his actions and words. My family and I were saddened very deeply by this lost, but we know Rob has left an incredible mark on cadets, soldiers, classmates, fellow officers, friends, and family. God has a plan for all of us and we know that Rob is with God. We know that Rob will always be with us in spirit. Our prayers go out to Holly, Brittany, T.J and to all the families of the men who served with honor in the 25th ID. God Bless, MAJ & Mrs. Eric C. Turner & Family '87 |
