" "Charles 'Chuck' Jensen, age 40, died Monday, May 27, 2002, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska." " This marks Charles Jensen's second softball Hall of Fame induction. In 1977 Jensen was inducted posthumously into the ASA National Hall of Fame for his long and Meritorious Service to that organization. The Chicago native's softball and baseball umpiring career spanned thirty years." |
