Dr. Jensen was a friendly and generous host all the times I spent with his son Mark at their cabin on Linwood Lake (where my dad caught monster crappies back in the 30's). He enjoyed meeting my family and seeing them grow. He is missed. If I can figure how to get this picture up you'll see Nic's resemblance to his grandfather! Much Love, Lee Jacobson and family

Dear Alvern, Tom, Mark, Jim, Liz, and Family:
I am very sorry not to be able to attend Jim’s Funeral service. I consider my self to be very lucky to have Jim as a colleague, mentor and a friend.

His sense of humor, and ability to deal with unusual and stressing situations keep it me going. He will be truly missed by all. You...

What a great boss and wonderful man! He had the best outlook on life and people. There's a little good in everyone and he could always find it! I will miss him and will definately be looking for the "Scandinavian Leprechuan" on the otherside of the rainbow.

Jim was extremely kind and helpful to all of the students who were in dental school. His smile and jokes made the school a better place. He finished my patients endodontic procedure when my wife was in labor and sent me home. There are very few individuals you meet in your life who were great mentors, Jim was the best. My prayers are with the Jensen Family.

Dr. James R. Jensen was my most respected teacher and friend. As a foreign student from Taiwan, he treated me as a member of his family in the nice and warm way. I must regret to say that I was not able to visit Jim 3 years ago. I wish to extend my condolence to Alvern and her family, you can take great pride in this wonderful and respectable teacher and gentleman. He will live in my heart forever. God bless Jim, Alvern and the rest of the family. Malcolm MK Guo and family
