County Courthouse. After years of being a caretaker to his wife, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he retired, and moved to Fremont to be closer to Helen, who was placed in long-term care. A jack-of-all-trades, Rick was always making the world even more beautiful with his paintings, homes he built and renovated, fixing vehicles, and helping his friends and neighbors in any way that he could. One of Rick's greatest strengths was his ability to make everyone laugh and smile. He never met a person that didn't become his friend. Every child that met him went on to address him as "Papa or Grandpa Rick." Above all things, Rick had a love for his family and a relationship with God. There is no doubt to those who knew Rick that heaven is now even more beautiful and fun with him in it. Survivors include his loving wife of 44 years, Helen; and their four children, Amy (Cory) Wieseler of Elkhorn, NE, Lori (Michael) Huffman of Papillion, NE, Ryan (Shena) Jensen of Papillion, and Andrew Jensen of Omaha. He was also a proud Papa to five grandchildren, Whitney, Bo, and Brilee Wieseler, Evelyn and Jackston Huffman. Survivors also include his brother, David (Jackie) Jensen of Las Vegas, Nevada; his mother-in-law, Monica Richards of Ponca; brothers-in-law, Mark (Vicki) Richards of Exira, IA, and Gary (Kari) Richards of Thornton, CO; sisters-in-law, Marcella (Rick) Schweers of Ponca, Susan (Blake) Bostwick of Ponca, and Gayle Richards of Sioux City. Rick was also a proud uncle to all of his nieces and nephews. Ready to meet him in heaven were his parents, Sherman and Dorothy Jensen; his sister, Kathleen and husband, Ron Bookwalter; father-in-law, Thomas Richards; and brother-in-law, Jim Richards.
