Mark Santelman says
Mr. Solie probably spent less time with each individual student than the classroom teachers did, yet he may have had a greater impact on the students’ futures as a Guidance Counselor (I believe that was his title) than anyone else at Hutch High.
He was an intelligent, thoughtful man whom I always respected.
Blessed be his memory.

I really don’t think Mr. Solie ever knew exactly how much of an impact he made on teens and planning their futures, but he definitely made an impact on my life. He was a wonderful guidance counselor that had so much wisdom, grace, and patience. His thoughtfulness and genuineness of wanting to see me do the very best things that I could do for my future was clear. I greatly appreciated and respected all of his advice and over the years, still enjoyed seeing him and chatting with him at Faith Lutheran Church. Well done good and faithful servant. To God Be the Glory.
My thoughts and prayers to his family.
