Robert Leslie Olson

West Point, 1987

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Janelle Cleary on February 20, 2001:

My daughter, Heather Whittaker, worked for Rob and Holly for two years during their time at West Point. The Olson's cared for Heather as if she were part of their family, as she did, indeed, care for Brittany and TJ as if they were part of hers. The love, nurturing, care and faith that was the heart of this family was apparent to all who knew them.
I got the call about the accident, and words can't express the loss I felt, knowing that this wonderful man was taken too soon from the family he so loved...and the tragedy of loss for Holly and the children, especially being so far from home.
Always remember what an incredible man,devoted husband and father Rob was, then his spirit will live on within and through each of us. Rob's time was brief, but his legacy huge. He is missed and loved by many.
