He worked for Baugh Motor, then went to Wilson Motor for 36 years until his retirement and later worked at USU Motor Pool. He always enjoyed being with his family and they spent many enjoyable trips camping, hunting and fishing. He loved working with wood and made many of his ?Famous Ducks and Road Runners? that the wind would spin. He also could carve a wooden chain from a solid piece of wood which always amazed everyone.

He was preceded in death by his wife, three brothers: Fred Jensen, Floyd Jensen, Orlo Jensen and two sisters: Eva Gessel and Delma Kimball.
