Preben Jensen

[Petersen, Mary E. {ZMUC}]

I received the following note from the family of Preben Jensen, Marine
Biological Laboratory, Helsingor, Denmark:

*******************************************************************
Gurre, 24 June 1996

We write with great sorrow that my husband, our father, and "Bonpa", marine
biologist and nematologist, Preben Jensen, born 25 September 1942 in
Kolding, Denmark, died quietly and without pain in his home in Gurre on 17
June 1996 after a long battle with cancer.  He was for us a wonderful
person, our "Big Bearded Bear".  Although not biologists, we could not help
being caught up in Preben's enthusiasm for his work and hope that others
have had a similar experience.  We miss him.

     Tina Jensen, Annelise and Birgitte, and grandchildren
     Tovesvej 9, Gurre, DK-3000 Helsingor, Denmark
