Notice from Digital Alumni

We have just received word that Ken Olsen passed away yesterday, February 6, 2011 in Indianapolis surrounded by his family. Ken has been in hospice care for the past few weeks. Funeral services are private but there will be a public service at Gordon College at a later date to honor this great man. There will be an obituary in the Boston Globe later this week.

Poem

Remembering Ken Olsen – A life to cherish

Winnie Chow

 

A pioneer into the world of the unknown,

With courage, confidence and talents,

Created technology that changed the lives of many,

And yet cherished a simple and philanthropic living!

 

A scientist into the world of truth,

With intelligence, knowledge and insistence,

Discovered the hidden truth that inspired more,

turning the impossible into reality!

 

A true leader in the world of management,

With wisdom, modesty and kindness,

Developed many from innocence and freshness,

who became leaders and further influenced many!

 

“What is man and you are mindful of him,” as the Psalm says,

You trusted and guided so many,

Giving them prosperity and meaning in life,

Making the world a better place to live!

 

“The waves behind push the waves in front in the Yangtze River ,” as the Chinese proverb says,

Yet this wave you created pushed so many waves behind,

that you finally claimed mission accomplished,

and rest in peace in a golden robe!

 

Your life is a model of honor and meaningful living,

And is ever more needed in this world of chaos!

You had demonstrated what is possible,

through action rather than claims,

I will forever cherish your values and inspiration,

and hope one day I will see you again

In the promised Land...
