Dennis John Olsen, 62, of Ramona passed away on November 10, 2015.  He was born in Plainfield, New Jersey to Harold and Vera Olsen.   During his childhood, his Russian immigrant grandmother, "Nana", lived with their family and taught him to play Pinochle and make potato pancakes from scratch.  He was confirmed at St. Peter's Lutheran Church.  Dennis and his wife, Janice, are the former owner's of Jack's Grocery in Julian.

All his life, Dennis was passionate about sports.  He loved baseball, football, horse racing and he loved playing golf with his wife.  He was a spiritual man and exceedingly generous to those around him.
