Mike & Matt, We are sorry to hear of your Father's passing. I (Ed) had a very enjoyable and productive relationship working for your Father the last half of my career. Working for someone of that stature was such an honor. I owe so much to your father. Ed & Lila Emmert

I worked with Dr. Hester at The Upjohn Company and am proud of him and his contributions to medicine and our community. Jack was one of the top medicinal chemists in history. Every scientist at Upjohn spoke of Jack Hester with respect due to his knowledge and experience. Jack made science fun!
The world is a much better place because of Dr. Jackson Hester!

It was an honor to have known your father. His memory has a special place for all of us who were part of Upjohn.

Our heart and thoughts are with the family at this time.
