OLSON, Eric Julius Larry

It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Larry Olson on March 22, 2016 at the age of 70 years. Larry was born February 1, 1946 in Calgary, AB and passed away surrounded by his family after fighting many years with heart and lung problems. Larry was the only child of Mabel (Godfrey) and Eric Olson, living his entire life in the Ardenode/Nightingale communities. He took pride in his community and was active in several committees and associations within the Strathmore area. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 40 years Darriel, his daughter Daneen and son Devin and Jen and his two adored granddaughters Everly and Tenley as well as many extended family members. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2016 at Strathmore Civic Centre (120 Brent Blvd., Strathmore) at 11:00 a.m. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made in Larry’s honor to the Royal Canadian Legion, Strathmore Branch. The family would especially like to thank Dr. Fanning and his colleagues in Strathmore and Calgary, the Strathmore medical staff, the wonderful paramedics and Home Care professionals and his many friends for their unending love, care, and friendship to Larry and his family through the years.
