He's best-known for the Valentine One "Radar Locator."

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Kind person, great engineer.

He also developed the Escort and Passport before he left the company he co-founded.

I never met him, but would have liked to.
