A Special Remembrance
IN MEMORY
Ronald William Olson August 18, 1927-December
5, 2004.
Ron was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and was
baptized and confirmed in the Evangelical
Covenant Church of Austin in Chicago, Illinois.
He attended Austin High School for 3 years, then went to North Park Academy for his last year, where he played sports &
graduated in 1945.
Ron attended Wright Jr. College , then continued his education at the University of Illinois, majoring in architecture. Ron, as a talented
artist, chose fine arts over architecture
and finished his education and graduated
from the Art Institute of Chicago with a degree in Fine Arts-Interior Design
which gave this artist the tools for his
long & productive career in interior
design.
Ron served with the SeaBees Reserve during
the Korean War and his unit was stationed
and operated in the Caribbean. In later years he loved taking vacations
cruising that Caribbean
His love of the water began as a child operating
family boats and his own sail boat during
summers spent at their summer house on WhiteLake,
Michigan, with his younger brothers Alden
and Robert.
His love of music and singing talent was
discovered at Austin Covenant Church where
his singing included quartets which started
a life-long passion with BarberShop.
Ron had the ability to sing either bass or
tenor in the quartets.
In 1954 he married the Love of his Life,
Patricia Johnson, and celebrated 50 years
with her.
They were blessed with a family of three,
Bill, Dick and Pamela, to which was added
Terri and grandchildren Dylan and Missy.
Besides his family, Ronald's loves/hobbies
in life were hunting, fishing,
singing and performing with barbershop quartets
wherever he lived, art design,
his own sail boats, and being on the water.
May God bless him and his life.
