My early years at AW……Dick was such a fun loving guy ! Still remember He and Sandys wedding with all the western wear. he will be missed. Condolences to all.
This one hits hard! I was just thinking of Dick a week or so ago! Big Dick was the first person I worked ‘full time’ with at AW, in the shipping track! We became great friends…that lasted until he retired, Whenever I would see him over the years..it was always…Hi Lefty! With a huge grin! Always enjoyed being around Dick. Worked with Sandy for a couple years as well, in old Grp #20! As well as Carrie for a year in CC 121! To the extended Jenson family..you have my sympathy!
RIP and God Bless Dick! You will be missed!

Thank you for being my dad. You were a man like no other. A man I’ve learned to respect for your honorable traits as a human being. You were a hardworking, loving, selfless father and friend, and a veteran who fearlessly served our country. Life ends for all of us at some point but love never dies. I love dad and I’ll see you soon. Your son Steve.
