Robert Russell Olsen
Age 61, of Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Formerly River Falls, Wisconsin

Robert was born in Hudson and raised in River Falls, Wisconsin on December 15, 1954. He passed away unexpectedly with his family by his side on Monday, February 1, 2016 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

He was a cherished and devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. Always enjoyed making people laugh and as his family says "a card a minute". He had a relentless and contagious way of touching many lives with his presence. He enjoyed spending time with family, traveling the United States, and watching the Green Bay Packers & Badgers football games. He will always be missed and the memories of his life will never be forgotten. Those who had the chance to be touched by such a great and caring man will forever be grateful for his life.

Robert is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Bertilla Olsen; sisters, Barbara Scott and Donna Olsen. Survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Lori; daughters; Danielle and Brittany; brothers, Gene (Diane) and Carl (Betty); sisters, Lorene Segerstrom, Linda Beckman, and Mary Velarde; sister-in-law, Kathy (Gordon) Matrious; brothers-in-law, Scot (Dena) Barton and Tim (Karen) Barton.
