Gregory Starr Jensen

Our prayers go out to Greg's family. Both Ron and I enjoyed knowing Greg; me,through my years as a court reporter from the mid '70s through the time of his retirement in 2000, and Ron, through his years as a deputy sheriff/bailiff. We came to know Greg as an attorney in the criminal/civil/juvenile courts and, ultimately, as the Honorable Greg Jensen, Judge. He always had a smile for me whenever we'd see each other in or out of the court rooms and always, without fail, took the time to stop...

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Greg Jensen since 1969. Greg is the definition of the word "Class". A real Hero. I know that he is at a place where his chariot will no longer be required.

Sincere condolences to the Jensen Family. I will forever hold dear the 13 years, beginning in the early '70s, that I spent "up on the hill" with the Hillcrest gang, amongst whom I had the privilege to have known and worked with Greg. Now, some thirty-odd years later, I still fondly recall the many fun times we all had getting to know each other and working well together. Greg was, by far, one of my favorites and was always considerate, funny and friendly, and I admired his way with people...

I had the professional pleasure to testify in Judge Jensen's courtroom on numerous occasions over the years. I could always be sure of his even handedness, professionalism, and forthrightness from the bench for which he had my utmost respect. My deepest sympathies to the family. May God comfort and bless you during this difficult time.

Godspeed my old friend. I joyfully recall the late 70's when we worked together every day for nearly two years at Hillcrest Juv. Court. I was Commissioner Severian's Bailiff and you were in the Private Def. Program. I nick-named you "Hotwheels" because of the way you would speed across the lobby to be in court on time. It was an honor and privilege to be your friend and co-worker.

Greg was truly an inspiration for many people of all different walks of life. It was a pleasure having him serve as a Judge in San Mateo County.

During my career as a San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff, I was often an observer in Judge Jensen's court Room.

I always admired his professionalism and his no nonsense approach in dealing with all who entered his courtroom.

I also had the honor of knowing Greg socially, as we had friends in common. He was always gregarious and fun to be around.

Semper Fi !

In His Grip!

Katie and I send our condolences to
Greg's family, and want them to know
we will miss him. Greg joined us all
at Burlingame High in 1950 and he was well liked for his smiling,friendly approach to anyone
who came to him. I also admired him
greatly as an excellent Judge, having worked with him during my 31
years with the Hillsborough Police
Dept. He was a fine human being..

As a bailiff at Hillcrest in the early '70s, I first worked with Greg, and immediately came to admire him and enjoy his company. Quick witted, dedicated, inspirational. Sorely missed.
