Richard was 88 years old.

'Augie' was born in Emmetsburg, Iowa, the 3rd of 4 children of Danish immigrants, William Peter Henry Valentinius Jensen and Maren Kirstine Christine Paulsen Jensen. The Jensen & Paulsen families moved to Enumclaw, WA., in the late 1920's, to Buckley in 1940 and Puyallup, after WWII. 'Augie's' parents, siblings and wife, all preceded him in death; sister, Edith Bray of El Cajon, CA, brothers Hans Henry of Tacoma, Christian S. of Puyallup and his wife of 50 years, Anna M. Papac Jensen, from Montesano, WA.

'Augie' and Anne were married in St. John's Catholic Church, Montesano, WA., with many family and friends attending, on October 11, 1947, the same day as his parents, Henry and Christine, were married in Harlan, Iowa, 33 year earlier.

'Augie's' passions in life were his family, hunting, fishing and woodworking. He also served as SSgt. In WWII, stationed in Northern Ireland, England and US Air Bases in Texas and California, one of which was Hamilton Field, San Rafael, CA where he and Anne began their family. The family were long-time residents of Puyallup, WA., where they lived and raised their three children.

After leaving the military, Richard was employed for a time by the Boeing Aircraft Company and as a Civilian A & P, working on engine, propeller & synchronizer systems for the C124 Airplane at McChord Air Force Base, now JBLM Tacoma, Wa., for some 20 years before he and Anne retired to Spokane, WA. 'Augie 'and Anne worked together as they served the community of St Thomas More, Catholic Church and Anne served as a member of Goodwill Industry's of Spokane Board of Director's with 'Augie's' willing support and assistance. 'Augie' worked part-time in his retirement for Dodson's Jewelers of Spokane, for many years.

After Anne's passing in 1997 Spokane, WA., 'Augie' relocated to Mount Vernon, WA where he taught woodworking skills to Developmentally Disabled students at Chrysallis of Stanwood. It was during this time in Stanwood, Richard met his second wife Glenora S. Wentworth Aff. Richard and Glenora were members of Warm Beach Assembly of God, located in Warm Beach, WA.

Many people have been blessed by Richard and Glenora's marriage story. Both had lost their spouses to cancer after long happy marriages, combining nearly 94 yrs. Neither of them were looking to marry, instead looking for a closer walk with the Lord. That search, brought them together and because they put the Lord first in their lives they had a marriage that many describe as "made in heaven".

In 1989, Richard and Glenora relocated to Kennewick and attended Richland Assembly of God through 2005. In April 2006, they relocated to Richland, Wa., where he spent the remainder of his life.
