Jim was a loving husband and father who found joy in serving his family and friends. His straightforward philosophy of "Do the right thing and the rest will follow" guided Jim in everything he did. Laughter was always a big part of the Hensel household. Jims direct approach to life and gregarious sense of humor will never be forgotten. He is preceded in death by his parents Don Hensel and Phyllis Smith, and his brother, Ken. Jim is survived by his wife, Susan, daughter, Hannah, and son, Dr. James (Katherine) Hensel, his siblings Paulette (John) Rizek, Shawn (Donna) Hensel, and Tim Hensel.
