Robert A Jensen

Robert A. (Bob) Jensen, 88, passed peacefully on May 15 after a full life centered on family, friends and work. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Bob attended Whitman College where he met life partner,Rhoda. Bob also studied at Columbia and Suffolk Universities before entering private patent and trademark law practice. Quick to laugh, Bob was known for his honesty, humility, compassion and sharp wit.

Married for 56 years, Rhoda and Bob raised their children on Mercer Island while encouraging their education and outdoor adventures. Committed to volunteer service, Bob worked with school PTA’s,local and regional school boards, and scouting. He loved reading, the outdoors and spending time with his kids (Eric, Kirsten and Peter), their spouses/partners (Renée, Gregg, Courtney) and grandkids (Sophie,Davin, Jens). He is survived by his sister-in-law (Cass) as well as nieces and a nephew.

Private memorial services are planned. Donations to the Rhoda Daly Jensen scholarship fund at Whitman College or the Arbor Day Foundation are appreciated.
