Jens Erik, Madsen

I want to offer my most sincerest condolences to the great Madsen family, especially Fernande, Priscilla & Eric which I knew in the late eighties when I work with Jens in is many cleaning contracts and lined him up some a contract myself for our commercial vehicles from my Base Transport unit in Hangar #14 at CFB Uplands and also some vehicles in CFB Rockliffe as well.
I have nothing but fond and fun memories from working with Jens, he had a great sense of humor and loved teasing for being a French Canadian, I drove his van on many occasions between job sites so he could have a quick nap while in transit. The time we spend together working was fantastic and a great experience for me which I still cherish to this day.

to Jens family

I had the occasion to work with Jens many time when he was with us at the Senate Security. Jens was definitely a good man and his sense of humour will definitely be remembered. May he rest in peace.

Priscilla Madsen

My deepest sympathies, Priscilla, on the loss of your father. The death of a loved one is always sad, but it seems particularly so when we lose a parent. My thoughts are with you and your family.
