Eric Jenett

Eric Jenett was truly one of a kind. I worked as his secretary at Brown & Root for many years. He will be fondly remembered by me and everyone that knew him. He had a great impact on my life and career. His dedication to his family and friends was insurmountable. I did not keep in touch with him over the years but will always remember him with great admiration.

He was an visionary, a pioneer, and an inspiration to all of us. I am blessed to be able to follow his footsteps and be a member of PMI and the Alamo Chapter. Our prayers goes out to his love ones and we all here for you in San Antonio. God bless.

Eric Jenett is one of the very special few who is both remembered fondly and was able to create a lasting network of people interconnected around the world. Eric touched millions of lives – and mine is only one. My life has been blessed in huge ways, personally and professionally, because of Eric. We have lost an icon.

My life has been impacted greatly by Eric's vision of a profession we call Project Management. Like many, I found my way into this profession by accident and have enjoyed so many terrific experiences along this journey. Because of Eric I have had the priviledge of serving the Project Management Institute as a volunteer leader and always take away far more than I'm able to contribute. While serving on the PMI Board of Directors I met Eric personally and fondly remember those conversations. He was an extraordinary visionary, practitioner and leader.

I will remember Eric for his expansive knowledge and his sense of humor. As the current PMIH President, I am honored to experience the momentum he help put in place...PMI & the first Chartered chapter PMI Houston. He will be dearly missed.

Eric was a true guiding light and wonderfully irreverent. Our few meetings will be fondly remembered. Take comfort in the fact that he is now at work reorganizing Heaven (using PMBOK methodology, no doubt) and it will be complete before our arrival.

Thank you all for your wonderful comment about our Dad--he was a pretty amazing fellow, in so many ways. While we are so happy that I and my family, and my brother Jon and his family, got to see him and his loving wife, Jeanne, during their visit to California this August, and while Jon and I each had the privilege of having a great telephone chat with him on the morning of his passing, we miss him dearly and love him always.

We met the Jenett's, Dec.1944 at our rooming house in Hampton VA. I was a newly wed and graduate from Navigation school. Eric and Dorothy took us in as they were an old married couple of a few months! God Bless, Bruce Martin

He made me proud to be a Brownbuilder.

I will always remember Eric's support, leadership and the way he inspired all of us at the Project Management Institute (PMI). It was a privilege to be associated with Eric for over 13 years through the PMI Houston Chapter. We will miss him a lot.

Most intelligent,all rounded, very kind
person I have ever met.He was my mentor
always available to help and understood
people for their weakness and brightness
I will miss Eric,pray god for his soul to rest in peace.
