Olaf Knutsen was born March 22, 1928, in Snohomish, Wash. He passed away June 17, 2016, with his family by his side. He was 88 years old. Olaf was the last surviving sibling of eight brothers. His parents were Ole and Anna Knutsen.
Ole grew up in Snohomish and worked as a heavy equipment operator and also served in the Army and Korean War. Ole loved fishing, seafood, road trips in his RV and working on just about anything that had a motor in it. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family and grandchildren.
Ole was a very gentle soul but could be stubborn at times. He had an innocence and kindness about him that just made you want to be around him. He saw and experienced a lot in all his 88 years here in Snohomish. Growing up with eight brothers it wasn't always a walk in the park. Ole is survived by his lovely wife, Noriko; beautiful daughter, son-in-law,and two grandchildren.

Opening day will never be the same without the two of you wrecking everyone's fishing lines. To all our wonderful friends and family, thank you for being there to support Noriko and Milane during this difficult time.
