Happ was a long term member of the Allsteel Credit Union. He was profoundly committed to the organization and tirelessly worked for its long term health and strength. He carefully considered options and ideas that kept the credit union in business and healthy for a very long time. He is missed.

Dear Jebens Family,

I spoke with Gordie Wicklund this afternoon, and he told me about Hap's passing. My mother (Grace Leah Hartman), my partner (Denis Harrington, who had worked with Hap at AllSteel) and I saw Hap at Gordie's retirement party. I also took dance lessons in Aurora with either Lynne or Claudia. The three of us send your family our sincere condolences. Hap was a lovely, special man, and we are very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy to Teddy and Hap's extended family. Hap was my first Boss at Allsteel in Data Processing from 1966 to 1981 and was my Boss, again, in the Sales Department from 1981-1988. I am quite sure that you all remember hearing about the "Poker Games the following Monday in the office with his dear friends. He is going to be missed by all that knew him, worked with him and played Golf with him. Rest in Peace, Hap.

To Hap's family & friends,
I am praying that you will feel God's comforting love, and be filled with His peace.
Years ago, Hap was my sales dept. manager at Allsteel. He was a good guy. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Hap's passing. He was a great man, friend, mentor and gentleman. I have known Hap for over 50 years.
He was my first boss, hiring me in 1966 after my discharge from the U. S. Navy, and was one of the most influential persons in my life.
Hap has taken his seat at the table in heaven of the "hole-card" poker club alongside Bobb, Smitty, Dale & Hos.
This man will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
My sincere sympathy to Teddy and the entire Jebens family.
