He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Leslie "Pete" and Evangeline Jensen. He grew up in Fremont, Neb., and resided in many places, spending his last years in La Crosse. Jack married Dolores Lampi on Jan. 30, 1961, in Sioux City, Neb. They had four daughters, Lori (Keith) Greenawalt of Arvada, Colo., Vicki (Mark) Ziegahn, Brenda Krause and Michelle Jensen, all of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.; and one son, Leslie "Jack" Jensen Jr. also of Wisconsin Rapids. He also had eight grandchildren who provided him much love and reason to live. His children were the highlight of his life and he loved them dearly. He always lit up when he talked of them and spent time with them. Jack was a proud member of the U.S. Air Force and was honorably discharged. He enjoyed spinning tales of his escapades while in service to anyone who would listen. Jack will always be remembered for his stories of his life. Jack worked most of his life in construction until he entered the field of addictions and was one of the best AODA counselors in his time -- helping many to recover from addiction. He was a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous. He retired from counseling in 1989 after he had a bike accident that caused him much pain. He then took care of the various rental properties that he had acquired. Jack married his second wife, Judy Walker, in Shawano, Wis., on Oct. 27, 1982. They remained married until his death, but had no children. They formed the Association of Recovering Motorcyclists (ARM) in 1986, an organization that continues to grow. In 1997, Jack retired from that organization and joined the AOA bike club, for which he remained a member until his death. He was an avid motorcyclist, always enjoying being in the wind. A memorial service will be at noon on Sunday, March 2, at Schumacher-Kish Funeral Home, 200 West Ave. S., La Crosse. A visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of service. A lunch will be served following the service at a location to be announced. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
