Thomas "Tom" P. Jensen, age 80, of the town of Vinland passed away with his family by his side on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, his 59th wedding anniversary.
He was born February 6, 1937, in Neenah to the late Adelbert Sr. and Grace (Schindler) Jensen. Tom served his country in the U.S. Army. On October 4, 1958, he married Georgia "Babe" Reese at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Neenah. He owned and operated Tom's Heating and Cooling for many years before taking over the family farm. For 34 years Tom was a member of the Vinland Fire Department. His favorite pastimes were playing cards, drinking brandy on Fridays at Woodeyes made by his favorite waitress's Amanda, Molly, and Jessica, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. The neighborhood will miss his friendly smile seen while driving around checking crops.
