Stanley Olson Jr. "Skip" passed in peace on November 25th, 2014 at the young age of 60 after a long battle with cancer. He was lovingly surrounded by his family in his home in Buda, TX.

In 1987, Skip moved his family to Austin, TX, where he worked as an Executive Chef for Embassy Suites. Years later, following his father's footsteps, Skip became an amazing Salesman; for many years, Skip sold a variety of services and products, from Saladmaster cookware, to hot tubs and spas. He enjoyed his career and was successful in his trade.
