In Memory of Adrian Ohlsen

For Adrian, who taught me the meaning of courage. For Diane and the girls, who taught me the meaning of devotion. From a grateful son-in-law.

Adrian was the most wonderful mentor, role-model and friend to me (and many others). I'm so grateful our paths crossed and I'll forever 'pay it forward'. Sending much love to the family he so adored.

In honour of Adrian.

Lots of beautiful memories of a very special family man.

I’m looking at forest and mountains. Appropriate, given these were the spaces that we used for building outdoor leadership. Adrian was the trainer’s trainer. Quiet, assured, self-effacing and highly skilled, he was a core contributor and driver of the Silver Creek Training Group over many years. Many classes of select St Kevin’s students were shaped in this program and carried the lessons forward into their lives. Just one of Adrian’s many legacies. Vale my friend. And sadly, am far from Oz this week.

This is a sad time for the Ohlsen family, you have lost a husband, father and grand father. He excelled in all roles. This is a sad time for the George family, we have lost a brother, brother-in-law, uncle and great uncle - he made our lives richer through being part of it. This is a sad time for Australia, as a nation we have lost a caring, thoughtful with Christian based values who made a positive contribution to the life of everyone he met.

Love you always. May his legacy last long.

For Adrain. A beautiful man whose love and friendship we treasured.

A dear friend who made this world a better place

May your memories of loving moments together warm your hearts forever.

Dear Di, this donation is from MelbUniGirls in support of the Neurological Microscope Appeal.

I will forever be grateful to Adrian and Diane for opening their home and hearts to me growing up. He was one of the best men I know and will be truly missed by all.

A quick anecdote. When I was going through some of the hardest times in my life as a wayward teen, Adrian reached out and told me he was there for me if I ever needed someone to talk to. I never did, but the offer meant something to me on a pretty profound level. Especially for young men, not many people ever say that to you in life. He was such a kind man. I’m very grateful I knew him. I’m going to be on a plane to Poland during the stream on Thursday (our Wednesday night) but will be thinking about you all.

Adrian was much loved, and a great support for all the family. He'll be much missed. xx

Given with love and gratitude for a lifetime of friendship. Given to honour the great care Adrian received from his lovely family. Given to support the important work of the EMF.

In memory of a life so fully lived and to a beautiful man whose infectious nature touched so many. All our love

With love

Rest easy brother.

So sad to lose such a wonderful man too soon. We are both thinking of you all, Di.

For all the care you gave to my brother- thank you

You held me as a baby and then we went on as friends celebrating and commiserating through life’s events. You were always by my side just when I needed you; you always turned up and made me absolutely okay no matter the circumstances. You are carried in my heart..

In the memory of my lovely Uncle and Gruncle to my children.

The most beautiful family xx

Sincerest condolences to the Olsen family

Adrian was simply a wonderful man.....thoughtful, caring, compassionate, giving and always thinking of others. His love for Di and his beautiful girls knew no bounds. My late Dad loved Adrian like a son and Adrian stepped in and mentored me for many years after Dad died. Rest peacefully, dear Adrian.
