OLSEN,
Eric
Guthrie
After a long battle with cancer, Eric died in Toronto on July
26, 2003. He was predeceased by his loving first wife, Marjorie
and his son Michael. He will be missed by his sisters Margaret
ORAM and Brenda
OLSEN in England, and his loving children Barbara
WILKES (Andy), Geoffrey
OLSEN, Brenda
KROEKER (Henry), and Robert
OLSEN, and by his grandchildren - David and Julia
WILKES,
Jesse
and Sheena
OLSEN, and Christine
WILSON.
Eric was born in Yorkshire,
England in 1927, immigrating to Canada with Marjorie in 1951.
After years with Dominion Bridge, Eric founded Amhurst Drafting
Company Ltd. in 1959 with the support and ongoing participation
of Marjorie. The company was known in the steel industry for
its excellent work, high ethical standards, skilled employees
and excellence in training. After nearly 30 successful years,
the company was closed. A special thanks goes to Dr. M.
SHERMAN
and his team at Toronto General Hospital for the clinical trial
of the new cancer drug that gave us another three years with
Dad. And also to Dr. John
RIEGER of the Temmy Latner Centre for
Palliative Care for the support that made it possible to Dad
to stay home with family. Visitation for the hour before the
service will be held at St. James-the-Less Cemetery Chapel, 635
Parliament Street, Today Tuesday, July 29, 2003 at 2: 00 p.m with
service following at 3: 00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations
''In memory of Eric Olsen'' to the Canadian Cancer Society would
be greatly appreciated.
