Richard G Jorgensen

It has been too long...but I just now saw Doc´s obit. We go back to 1998. He and I became so close maybe due to my love and interest in horticultural. We worked together at Henry Doorley Zoo/garden. Doc taught me so much and I would go to the end of the earth to attempt to repay him. He had so much knowledge in so many different things. He was my biggest support while I attended Nursing School in Kansas City MO. It is so sad to see he is just a memory now...but it is about the best memory of...

Richard was a Nephew to my Grandmother Louise Landanger and had many family gatherings Deepest Sympathy to His Family

My condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of activities with Dr. J. Hunting for morel mushrooms, square dances, Minne Lusa school carnivals, and laughing at almost everything. RIP

Dick ALWAYS blessed others whose positive demeanor and a smile on his face. He will certainly be missed. There are few like him.

Dr. J was a awesome person. Everyone loved very much.

He was so passionate at Minne Lusa. The carnivals, Halloween parades scouts and many more events that made that school so amazing. I can still hear his laughter. Mom worked in the office with him and she was so happy to work with him. He even helped safely relocate a honey bee hive at my grandparents house. Just an amazing man.

I attended Minne Lusa from 1st to 6th grade and was impressed that Dr. Jorgensen knew every child´s name AND their parents´ names. Being married to a service member and traveling around the world, I thought that it was normal for ALL principals to know everyone´s name at their schools. Sadly I was mistaken and longed for another Dr. Jorgensen in my children´s lives. He cared and he listened. I have so many stories that I would love to share about Dr. Jorgensen, but my fondest was seeing...

I enjoyed knowing Dr Jorgensen. We crossed paths any times since I taught at Miller Park. He always had such a positive attitude.
