Robert M. Jens

I was sorry to read this morning of the death of Bob Jens of HHS. He grew up in south Hammond and I knew his family when I was a kid at Edison School. Bob's dad had the high status of driving a fire engine for the Hammond Fire Department. All of the kids thought that was pretty neat. Bob had a nice family and were always welcoming to me. RIP, Bob, and blessings to your family. - Richard Barnes, Ph.D., HHS '59 / Hammond Sports Hall of Fame, 2020

My heart hurts since I saw this. Bob was a friend in high school. From our "camping" trip to Ohio and double dating to junior prom he was a true friend. The world has one less friendly soul. RIP.

I was a dance friend of Sues We would have sleep overs and Bob and his brother would tease us. So sorry for your loss. I live in Denver and think of your family often. We to to Morton with Shelia

Bob was my first-cousin on my father's side ... many times over the years I asked him to help me transport building materials from places like HomeDepot and Menards ... and just about every time he dropped everything to get it done that same day ... every time he picked me up he was listening to classical music on a CD in that big blue truck ... he was easy to work with and I cannot recall a single contentious moment with him since our childhood in the 60s.

Our heartfelt sympathy. We were neighbors and friends for many many years. Wonderful life long memories. We are sadden by the loss of such a beautiful individual and send our love to a beautiful family.

One of things i loved about Bob was his sense of humor he always made me laugh it was always fast and witty I´m sure many people will miss the laughter!!!
