On October 19, 2017 I lost my best friend and husband of 62 years, Orval H Olafson at the age of 86. He was always well respected in business and his personal life for his honesty and consideration of others needs. Orv enjoyed his life in spite of the challenges he faced. He hunted, fished in the winter and summer, recreationally and commercially and he taught me how. We 4-wheeled, water skied, swam, danced, travelled all over Canada, even in the north and much of the US. He was part of the music world with me.
He is survived by his wife, Nadia, brother, Ernie and many nieces and nephews.
There will be no service at his request. We especially thank Dr. Thomasse and all the care givers at RIH. Should anyone wish to donate in Orvals name, RIH would appreciate the help.
