Larry Jensen Obituary
03/09/1933 - 04/06/2024
Larimore (Larry) Dean Jensen passed away on April 6, 2024 in Yokohama Japan with his wife Noriko and son Nels by his side. Larry was born and raised on a family farm near Blair, Nebraska. He graduated from Blair HS, earned a political science degree from Northwestern University, and studied law at Stanford University. He served in the U.S. Navy for six years becoming a Lieutenant Commander and Korean War Veteran.
Larry settled in San Mateo, California with his wife Jan to raise their three children Dirk, Brooke, and Nels, while working in international business and sales. Being from Nebraska, Larry was an avid fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He was a member of the Foster City Lyons Club and the Peninsula Masonic Lodge. He devoted time to charitable causes, including fundraising for Shriners Hospitals. Following the unexpected loss of his first wife, Jan, in 1974, he married Noriko in 1979. Larry lived happily with Noriko in San Mateo, and in 2011 they moved to Kawasaki Japan to enjoy the country he experienced as a young naval aviator.
He is survived by Noriko, Dirk (Dawn), Brooke, and Nels (Vera), and his grandchildren, Bailey, Claire, and Cole. Larry lived a full life, desired peace for all, and would want you to cherish your family and friendships.
