To The Jensen Family:  I am very sorry to hear of your loss and the loss of a valued colleague at OSU. Lynn’s funeral was very nicely done, with some wonderful memories shared. Over many years in working with Lynn, I always admired his dedication to assisting the citizens in Malheur County and his common sense approach to resolve issues at OSU. Attending the Malheur Station field day this past summer provided a special memory of him operating so well in his “element”. May God bless you with peace and comfort during this difficult season.

Dear Paulette and Family,
I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Many times when Lynn had a smile on his face in the office, he had just received new pictures of grandchildren, which he was so proud of! May the special memories you shared be your strength and comfort. I appreciated Lynn knowing the impact that 4-H has on youth in the county.

I worked with Lynn for many years when he was the faithful secretary of the Malheur County Onion Growers Association.  My capacity in that time was as secretary-treasurer of the Idaho Onion Growers Association.  It was a great pleasure to cooperate with him on many joint projects of these two grower associations.  Betty and I would like to send our heartfelt sympathies to Lynn's family at this time.  Sincerely, Jerry and Betty Stone

I would like to extend my condolences to Lynn's family and friends on behalf of the many onion research and extension colleagues and growers in Colorado and elsewhere who had the pleasure of knowing and working with Lynn over the years.  Lynn was always a valued friend and colleague who was willing to share his time, thoughts and experiences with us all at meetings, field days, collaborative projects, and one-on-one conversations.  He was always one of the first to volunteer to help with any project, and made that extra effort to answer every question raised by his colleagues, growers, students and others.  We will all miss Lynn, and want to thank his family for sharing him with us.

Dear Jensen Family,

Please accept my condolences in your time of loss. Even though I served a brief time as the 4-H agent in Malheur County, I can say that Lynn was great influence in my career. He taught me much about how to be successful in the workplace/career and he always offered me great advice/support when asked. I could tell that Lynn was very respected by the community and county for his work, dedication, and above all character. May he rest in peace

To the Jensen Family,

So sorry to hear of Lynn's death. He will be greatly missed by those at Oregon State University with whom he worked for so many years; he also leaves a large hole for the many stakeholders that he served. I appreciated the opportunity to work with Lynn in various capacities over the years; his dedication and hard work served as a role model for many. May you find comfort in the many memories you hold.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I recall meeting Lynn at OSU several years ago (probably longer ago than I am thinking) at an Extension meeting in Corvallis. He was so knowledgeable and so willing to help others. I always referred people interested in the latest on potatoes and onions to him! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this hard time.

Lynn will be remembered by many, many people in the Extension Service. I remember his quiet demeanor and kindness. He was a great staff chair and looked after the Malheur County office's best interests at all times. May good memories sustain you all as you move through your grief journey. Your husband and father made a lasting mark on Oregon and Idaho agriculture and on those of us who knew him.

I want to express my sorrow for the loss of Lynn. As a fellow Extension Agent I grew to admire and respect him and I know that his departure will leave a great void in our organization. I do know that he is now in a much better place and is receiving the much deserved rewards that he has earned in this life.

Dear Paulette and Family:
I was very surprised to read of Lynn's death today in an email. I didn't realize he was ill. I have worked with Lynn for about 5 years, but only over the phone. Lynn provided me plenty of useful information about the marketing of potatoes and onions when I was working on a publication about commodity distribution. Later, when I was assigned to provide administrative support, I was struck by the kindness and compassion he displayed toward one of the faculty under his supervision. I will always remember his comment when her situation was at odds with administrative goals. He was supportive and loyal. My heart goes out to you in this time; however much OSU Extension will miss him, I know you will miss Lynn so much more. Best regards, Linda Brewer, Corvallis Oregon.

Dear Paulette and Family,
May I express my condolences at the loss of your husband and father. I got to know Lynn when we both attended school at Whitney for the first 8 years of school, then grades 9-12 at Preston. He was a good friend and we had a lot of fun times playing softball and basketball on the Whitney teams. We will all miss him greatly.  May the Lord bring peace and comfort to all of you in knowing of His eternal plan for each of us.

My sympathy goes to Lynn's family. He was a cousin, classmate in Preston and I had the opportunity of visiting with him frequently at potato meetings across the country. He had a gentle, kind spirit and the growers appreciated him very much. His memory will live on in the great way he lived his life.
