In today's edition of the Brookings Register, there was a short obituary for Joe Jensen. He died in Medina, ND., yesterday (Aug. 17) No other information was given, but I heard he was welding on a bridge and fell. When I find out more details, I will post them.
Today's paper (Aug. 19) reports that as Joe was laying a tarp over recently-poured concrete on an Interstate 94 overpass near Medina, a freak gust of wind caught the tarp, knocking Joe through a wooden safety rail. He fell about 20 feet, landing on his head. Three other workers were also knocked into the rail, but were evidently not injured. OSHA is investigating. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 pm Aug. 21 at Grace Lutheran Church in Bruce. Visitation will be from 11:00 am until the time of service. Joe is survived by a brother Chris of Aurora, a sister Merry Gale Strenge of Clearbrook, MN, three nephews, and two nieces. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family.
