Not sure what to say?

I was very lucky to see and talk to one of my favorite teachers this April. Of course, he did not remember me, for it was 34 years ago. He gave me a very good compliment,( "You have aged very well") He look well himself, I did not know he was ready to soar high to Heaven so quickly. Rest in Peace Mr Jensen. My condolences to his wife I met that day and to his family.

We will miss our hunting partner! We had many great years hunting in North Dakota. I will remember them all! Maynard was a role model in all he did; educator, conservationist, father and friend. To Rob, Kathy, Randy and families, it was an honor to know Maynard. Joe Trujillo

Rob, Kathy and families, besides Maynards wonderful teaching ability and great sense of humor. I also carry some fond memories of days at the links and some very good Idaho pheasant hunts, which I felt lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of.
He was always one of my favorites at THS.

Mr. Jensen was a favorite teacher of mine and one of those who inspired me to teach. I remember feeling valued and encouraged...and as a teacher myself...that is usually as important or more important than the subject taught...Thank you Maynard for being such a great role model and supporter for me later when I taught at THS!!....the run-on sentence is just for you Maynard. I loved his sense of humor. Deb Moran-Martin

I am so glad I got to be Michonne's roommate and got to meet all of you. I love my Tooele family and the good times I had with you all. Grandpa Maynard will truly be missed. He was a great man to have met. My heartfelt sympathies go to all of you. I love you all.

Kathy
So sorry to hear about the passing of your father, he was a great teacher and will be missed. You and your family are in my prayers

Mr. Jensen was a terrific English/Literature teacher. I had him in 11th grade and learned so much. He made those classic books come "alive".
I can see why his son, Rob followed in his footsteps. Your dad was a lot of fun and will be missed, I'm sure.

Rob and family. Your dad was a great man. All the kids our age loved him at school and away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. You are very luck to have had him for so many years. Take good care of your mom. Rob and Deanna Lee
