Not sure what to say?

Ed,
Thanks for the coaching you gave me and the Someday Funnies. Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment I had listening to you sing with the Impostors. You would have won the International in 1966 if the quartet had stayed together. Thanks for the friendship and comaraderie you shared with me with the Chicago Metro Chapter. Thank you for your patriotic service in WWII of which I wasn't aware until you were gone. Thanks to Carol and your family for sharing you with us for so many years....

To Dad;
I just want to say your charished grandaughter is following the singing Jensen tradition. She sings all the time. I believe you have past it on to her. Love you and you will be missed.
Sue your daughter-in-law

I joined West Towns at the age of 14 and was a singing member from '83 - '86. Eddie stood in the 2nd row behind me for a short time and sang bari in my ear to help me as a beginner. After a while I found out that he was an accomplished quartet man. He was etremely humble, talented and took time to answer all my silly questions about singing. My best to his family, he was a great man.

More than a top-notch quartet singer and arranger, he was a genuine good guy and a gentleman. He will be missed by many.

I met Eddie right after I joined the Barbershop Harmony Society in 1975. His smile and words of encouragement are remembered to this day. Eddie was a friend and patriot. I miss him! My deepest condolences are with his family at this time.
