Jimmy, you have always shown a deep love of others shown through your smile and humor...you have been a point of focus and a reminder for me of my high school years with you.  Thanks for your presence in my life!  I pray that you will continue to be an inspiration for my life! Love you mucho!  Cris

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to take one of his courses during my four years at De La Salle from 2009-2013, but throughout those years and to this day my friends have told me how great a teacher and person he was. Whenever I saw him, he was so cheerful and positive. Great role model to the students. RIP

I was taught by Mr. Olwell in my senior year of high school and it is a class I will never forget. Mr. Olwell had such a kind heart, sense of humor, understanding nature, and happy-go-lucky spirit. He is to this day one of my favorite teachers and people. I feel blessed that I was able to know him. Rest in Paradise Mr. Olwell.

Mr. O - I was lucky enough to be in one of your first classes (1981). Your balance of humor & professionalism changed my life: it allowed me to see that a person could be goofy and fun, while still doing great and respected work. I too became a teacher. I reference you and many of your key math lessons in my classes at least once a week. You continue to affect the lives of many. God bless.

Mr. Olwell - I will never forget having you as my Stats teacher my senior year. I can honestly say I looked forward to that class and hanging out with you. You brought such an amazing sense of humor, love, and were always so caring and understanding. I'm going to miss you a lot. Wish I could be there to celebrate your amazing life. Once a Spartan always a Spartan
