Mr Jensen was my home room and history teacher when I was in the 7th grade at Lakewood. Everybody loved him. I used to babysit his kids. Hugs to his family. Sad to hear.

Great teacher, all-around good guy. I was a student at Lakewood.

So sad and sorry for the loss of this great man.

He was always ready and willing to welcome you and share his beautiful home on the lake. He always laughed at my sometimes inappropriate jokes! Dick was above anything else a respected, kind, and loving father, husband and friend- he will be remembered...
