Thank you Dr. Olson for saving Ashley's life. 16 years you took care of her. You monitored her renal problems and showed so much compassion toward her. You are the only Dr. she knows. We will truly miss you Dr. Olson. It will not be the same at Kaiser Fontana without seeing you. You were a major part of our lives. As always, Richard, Lillie And Ashley Russell##imported-begin##Lillie Russell##imported-end##
Dave was a highly-respected member of our staff - we and his
patients relied heavily on his expertise. He was secure enough
in his knowledge to never lose his composure in the gravest of
situations, and maintained a good sense of humor. We will sorely
miss him.##imported-begin##Arnelle S. Midley, MD##imported-end##
My deepest condolences to the family.Dr Olson was a kind and gentle man who had a great sense of humor that kept us in stitches every day. The one memory that will always stay with me is the way he greeted each and everyone of us individually each morning."Good morning Cindy, How are you?" I usually resonded "I am here" and we would both laugh. Rest in peace Dr Olson we all miss you terribly.##imported-begin##Cindy Casillas##imported-end##

I have worked with Dr. Olson for two years as his medical assistant.I can not begin to tell you how much I am going to miss him. He was a very wonderful,intelligent caring man who loved his patients. I will always remember his funny laugh, silly jokes,and most of all the smell of his everyday fastfood morning breakfast.There was never a day that went by were he did not make me laugh.I will miss him always.My prayers and thoughts are with his family.##imported-begin##Sophia Garcia##imported-end##
Dr.Olson was my son Ryan Houghton's Doctor for over 17 years. If it were not for him I fill we would not still have our son. Ryan was 5 days old when Dr. Olson found out what was wronge with him and had us talk to Doctors at Loma Linda, because Kaiser did not do Dialysis on Infants at that time.Ryan had a kidney transplant when he was two and half yrs old. Dr.Olson has always made himself availabe at anytime we needed him. he was a wonderful Doctor and a very special friend. He will be missed greatly by my family.
Thank you for always doing your job with a loveing heart.God Bless You Dr. Olson.

Both my husband (Larry Opas) and I had the pleasure to work with David at Children's Hospital in the mid-70's. I was a dialysis nurse when he first came to CHLA and Larry did fellowship in nephrology there. It was always a positive learning environment David created for us. We both appreciated his knowledge, gentleness and humor.##imported-begin##Susan R. Opas, PhD, CPNP##imported-end##
Doctor Olson was a Wonderful, kind-hearted Doctor, and friend. He took excellent care of my four children since the day they were born. From newborn to puberty, soar throats to broken bones...he helped me through rough times. Doctor Olson took the time to listen, and gave great advise..medical or other. We love you, and will miss you dearly. The Gilbert Family..John, Paula, Amanda, John Paul, Rachel and Julia.##imported-begin##Paula M. Gilbert##imported-end##
I will miss you, Doctor Olson. I wanted to thank you for taking good care of me, and visiting me while I was in the hospital. I remember when you told me I had a bone disease, but I would be okay. You were right. I am playing baseball now. I always felt close to you, more like you were my friend instead of Doctor. You had the coolest office! Whenever I had an appointment with you, there was always a Carl's Jr. bag on your desk. The girl's (my sisters) and I always thought it was funny because it made us hungry! I will miss you. Thank you for all you have done for me. Your "Buddy" John Paul Gilbert.##imported-begin##John Paul Gilbert##imported-end##
