    "Grampa Jensen" will be sorely missed by the Fartura family. He was a wonderful man. Sending love to the Benevides and Jensen families. xoxo

    Mr. Jensen was a gentle, quiet, kind man who loved his wife and children and their children. A man who brought pride and craftsmanship to every job he ever did. He had served his country and was honest and dependable with everyone who knew him even slightly. In short, Raymond Jensen was the kind of modest strong almost silent heroic men who made this country the envy of the world and whose passing diminishes us all. The Ponte family was enriched by our having known him. May faith and time heal his family's sorrow.
