Rest in peace Mr Hester.

To The Hester Family - Frank rescued me in March of 1965 from a job I hated. He was about to get on the elevator just outside his 5th floor office in the Fulton Federal Bldg in Five Points. He saw me crying and asked what was wrong. I told him my mean lady boss screamed at me and made me miss my bus,etc. The next day, he came over to where I was working across the hall and told "that mean old lady boss" that I would no longer be working for her. The rest is history. So many memories and...

Oh My The Memories!! Though many years have passed since I've seen the Hester family, you all have always been in my thoughts and prayers. I was not able to make the trip but my sisters told me how wonderful the service was. They said I should be so prod of this loving and caring family of ours. That you all are so beautiful inside and out.
I too have fond memories of the lake and the family gatherings. Uncle Frank will surly be missed but not forgotten.
All My Love To The...

Some of my fondest memories are those of days spent with the Hester clan, Uncle Frank, Aunt Joyce, Susan, Blanche, Bart, Uncle Dick, Aunt Martha, Dick Jr., Wes, Dan,Aunt Margaret, Aunt Helen my sisters Terri and Devin and my mother and father Shirley and Don.
Uncle Frank would drag us around the lake for hours on end teaching us how to water ski. What a great time we all would have. I cherish those memories and I will dearly miss my Uncle Frank.

I knew Mr. Hester from my days working in the Superior Court Clerk's Office of Fulton County. I was a calendar clerk (as we were called then) for almost twenty years and often had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hester in court. I know the judges all had high regard for Mr. Hester and relied on his recommendations for fairness to his clients. I am sure there are thousands of clients throughout this state that can thank Mr. Hester for his integrity and fair dealing. Although it's been years...

We live directly across from the Hester's old lake house. Our first introduction was right after we moved in and they drove over to introduce themselves - they enjoyed seeing someone living in the house across the way ;-)

Subsequent visits generally occurred on the water whenever we saw each other out and about. I had the pleasure of meeting their daughter a couple times as well. In fact, we saw them out in the cove spreading Mr. Hester's ashes yesterday and a beautiful display of...

Mrs. Hester, Bart, Susan, and Blanche,
Mr. Hester has a fond place in my heart. I pass on my prayers for your peace in his passing. I read with a smile the note about teaching everyone skiing on the lake. I was one of his students. God has a special place in heaven for him and my prayer is that you find comfort in what a wonderful husband, father and man he was.

I knew Frank and often saw him in court when I was Secuity Manager for Rich's and also as a fellow member of the Former FBI Agents Society. I extend my sincere sympathy to all in his family.

In 1977, I rented the Newland house next to your Lake Lanier house. You ended up adopting my german shepherd, BJ, when I moved away. I liked you as a neighbor and never forgot your love for my dog. Frank was a kind and noble man and a first-rate attorney. You are in my thoughts at this difficult time.
