GRANT JENSEN

I often think of the funny elementary teacher who taught us "chlorophyll is the green stuff in plants, not pants!" Sorry to learn of his passing. Sending love and condolences from a former student.

Mr. Jensen was a sweet natured, funny boned, talented and kind teacher. Now in my late 20s, affiliated with many theatres, represented by agents and the AEA, I reflect on the beginnings; Pretty much starting with Mr. Jensen, a hilarious parody of Master Of The House, and a bit of razzle dazzle.
With love and admiration

Uncle Ray, i love him dearly. i have done many performances at draper theatre and looooooved Ray with all my heart. He was always a great listener and taking good care of me. One day i felt like we were so close he might as well be my uncle...he has been known as uncle ray to my family ever since. I am so blessed to have been influenced by him. May you feel Heavenly Fathers love, especially at this time.

Mr. Jensen was one of my all-time favorite teachers. He cast me as the White Rabbit in our 6th grade play "Alice in Wonderland" and even let me direct a scene. He had a way of making all of us kids laugh, and made learning fun. That was 12 years ago, but I will never forget the impact this great man had on my life.

I had Mr. Jensen as my teacher in 6th grade, many, many years ago and loved every minute of it. His smile made everyone smile. Thanks for all you did Mr. Jensen. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jensen family.

God bless the Jensen family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ray taught me not only what it meant to truly love theater, but to love your fellow man as well. We'll all miss seeing his warm smile at DHT. Till we meet again, Ray.

I had Mr. Jensen as a teacher when I was in 6th grade 10 years ago...and now, as a Sophomore in College, i can safely say that I have never had a year as fun as my 6th grade year in my entire school career. Mr. Jensen made learning fun -- and i STILL remember random facts from his science lessons and random words in sign language (particularly how to order at McDonalds in sign language). The plays and softball tournaments only added to the joys of 6th grade. I was shocked and saddened by...

ray, you were an AMAZING man! you helped me so much in my acting and were like a second dad to me. you were always the one who could make me smile! you are the best actor i have ever seen on the DHT stage and will always be the best at improv!!! you will forever be in my heart and i will NEVER forget you.
