Spotlight on Dr. Bob Jensen of Unit #184
Let’s give a big cheer to Dr. Bob Jensen, who will be turning 92 in just a few weeks!
Born in North Dakota, Dr. Jensen is a proud first-generation Danish American who dedicated his life to caring for others through his long and respected career as an optometrist. His love for family and heritage shines through his passion for genealogy -he even helps organize family reunions to keep those meaningful connections across generations. In his spare time, Dr. Jensen is a true creative spirit. He enjoys playing the piano and has a lovely singing voice, which many of us were lucky to hear during our Valentine’s Potluck earlier this year. His personal treasures include a fascinating collection of phonographs—with one over 110 years old and a unique eyeglass collection. He has a breathtaking array of stained glass artwork, which he’s always happy to share with fellow residents. Dr. Jensen is the proud father of three children—two sons and a daughter. He moved to Glenwood in December 2024 to be closer to his daughter. We’re happy to have you here, Dr. Jensen!
Let’s continue to enjoy the season, make new memories, and look out for one another. With sunshine, Janice Delos Santos | Glenwood Community Manager��
