For SALE:Nothing lasts for ever but 27 years is quite awhile in this industry!

Dave you are in our thoughts and prayers. I spoke with you a lifetime ago, (back in the late 90's) and always held you in high regard. If the package deal doesn't go through keep me posted as I may be interested in some of your equipment. I just hate to see you leave the industry. As many others have already said you are a true industry leader and pioneer. Good luck, and stay positive.

Hows it Going Dave, did you get her sold yet
 
Best of luck to you Dave
 
This was posted over on Power Wash Network today, thought I'd share in case someone hadn't heard.

Hello,

This is Peggy Olson, Dave's wife. I deeply regret to inform this wonderful Forum that Dave passed away on December 23, 2011, from lung cancer.

Dave got many hours of enjoyment conversing with all of you on many different topics and threads. Thank you so much for your friendship with him!

God bless you all, and keep up the good work and great conversations!

Peggy Olson​


 
THANK YOU for your very kind words and prayers about Dave!

Dave really enjoyed these chats and meeting, via forums, phone, and in person, many members.

He loved sharing his knowledge and experiences, and learned so much from all of you, as well! His really loved his Power washing business, along with his antique tractors! "Do what you love, and love what you do" could certainly describe Dave!

Thank you for your thoughtful responses and your prayers. They are very much appreciated!

And thank you Doug for spreading the word!!!!

God bless you all,

Peggy Olson

PS After reading the previous posts on this thread, and to answer the question about did he sell the business, no, he didn't, so he was able to enjoy talking with business and antique tractor friends up until a few days before his passing.

It's a un disputed fact Mr Olson was truly a good man. A man who we all should follow by his example. I'm also proud that Dave was a fine member of the www.uamcc.org

Dave will be someone in cleaning history who will never be forgotten.

Dave Olson was a friend an counselor, I'm proud to have known Dave.

I'll miss his corvette

Still the most shocking heartbreaking post I think I ever read on the Net. A person so many cared so deeply about and everyone thinks he's going to pull thru because David Olsin was the type of Guy to never give up. I think of a Long Island homeboy Jimmy Valvano who was the coach of the college Basketball team NC State who he also coached at a relatively young age to a national championship. Jimmy V said "Never give up. Never ever give up" when he was dying and he was on the ESPY's. When Thoughts of Dave come to mind so does Jimmy V's. If there was ever two men who would fight in the trenches and bullets are wailing towards them you just know they would never give up....and they never did.

Dave was a giant and hopefully one day he gets honored on a national level from one of the many groups he belonged to such as PWI, PWNA, UAMCC and on and on. Many groups should honor this man yet like alot of things in life the idea just fades away...

I will keep coming back to revisit Dave on some of these old post and maybe one day I can help others honor him as well.
 
We Will have a Dave Olson Award John, Talked to Peg Already and if her health is Good she will come and give the first one Out. How ever it will not be and award given every Year. I feel award given every Year is just looking to find someone to give a Plaque too. We have and Exceptional Guy to give the award to at the UAMCC. I think Dave's award should be about guys who Never quit. Dave Was a guy involved in Our industry and helping others through Many of his own Trials in Life. Dave was and IRON man in this industry. Most important he was a guy who Helped people all the time, Dave Never stopped helping people, he was a great member of his own community. You would also be pressed to find anyone who didn't like Dave Olson.

The UAMCC will have a Dave Olson Award in 2013
