                  TRIBUTE TO DR. CHARLES W. JENSEN III

                                 ______


                         HON. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 27, 1995
  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
extend my condolences to the Jensen family of Riverside, CT, for the 
loss of their son and brother. Dr. Charles W. Jensen III, 34, a doctor 
of dental medicine in Greenwich, CT, who died suddenly last Monday 
morning at his office in Greenwich.
  A resident of Stamford, he previously lived in Greenwich and Darien. 
He had been practicing dentistry for almost 8 years and had just taken 
over the practice from his father, who retired at the end of December.
  Dr. Jensen was an avid sportsman whose special interest was sports 
fishing. His other interests were softball and golf, and he was a 
member of the Innis Arden Golf Club.
  Born August 24, 1960, in Goldsboro, NC, he moved to Greenwich when he 
was a year old. He was a 1979 graduate of Greenwich High School, 
graduated magna cum laude from Fairleigh Dickinson University and was a 
1987 graduate of the University of Connecticut Dental School. He was a 
member of the American Dental Association, the Connecticut State Dental 
Association, and the Greenwich Dental Society.
  In addition to his father, he is survived by his mother, Rachel Vuono 
Jensen of Riverside; three brothers, James S. Jensen of Silver Spring, 
MD, Thomas F. Jensen of San Ramon, CA, and Daniel T. Jensen of 
Riverside; two sisters, Mary Beth Jensen of Park City, UT, and Kathleen 
Bellissimo of Los Altos, CA; and his girlfriend, Rachel Gregg, of New 
Canaan, CT.
  Charlie will always be remembered as a genial, engaging person of 
rock solid integrity. The very mention of his name elicited a warm 
smile and a laugh from all those who knew him. Whether fishing off the 
shores of Nantucket, boating on Long Island Sound, or caring for his 
patients in the dental office, Charlie will always be remembered as a 
wonderful brother, trustworthy friend, and a dedicated professional.
  John W. Moffly IV, a long-time friend of the Jensen family, recently 
stated, ``I so much admired Charlie, not only as a professional, but as 
a person * * * he took such great interest in his patients that I never 
had a single doubt that whatever the problem, he would find the right 
solution * * * certain doctors rise above the norm and earn special 
recognition for their talent, dedication and humanity. This was 
Charlie.''
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Charles W. Jensen III will be very, very missed.
