OLSEN, Paul Henning - March 8, 1944 – March 3, 2018
It is with heartbreaking sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Paul Henning Olsen on Saturday, March 3, 2018.
Beloved husband of Linda, much loved father of Peter (Jennifer), Jeffrey (Carol) and Diane (Roddy) and Papa to Mitchell, Dean, Evelyn, Cedric, Ava, Mia, Andrea and Nathan.
He will now be reunited with his father Ejnar, mother Sofie and sisters Elsie and Inger in Eternal life.
Paul founded Brookdale Treeland Nurseries in 1977, humbly starting his dream with a pick up truck, a shovel and a heart full of determination. Through many years of hard work and smart moves he built the company to be one of the largest growers in Canada with locations throughout the country.
Many lifelong friendships were built through this organization and everyone knew Paul could be counted on to run events and volunteer until his final day. He and Linda were also members of the Nobleton United Church for many years and spent much of their free time helping out around the church and mentoring young people and serving those who needed help.
A man of principle, with unshakable values, Paul was also a very proud Canadian and would tell everyone who would listen that we live in the greatest county in the world.
Friends will be received at the Egan Funeral Home, Bolton, Wednesday afternoon 2 – 4 and evening 7 – 9 o'clock. Funeral service will be held in Holy Family Church, 60 Allan Drive, Bolton on Thursday, March 8 at 12 o'clock noon officiated by Reverend Carol Ann Chapman. Followed by cremation.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Nobleton Lions Club or Nobleton United Church.
