Jeff, Jon and Connie... What a wonderful man Papa Jack was! I have spent the last few days thinking about our two families spending so much time together while we we growing up! From planting a garden that the raccoons got to eat more than us, to parties in the print shop with Mutt Plummer and Milt. I remember when Mom ran for treasurer for the City of Dublin and Jack was running for Mayor. They had that big bill board put up just across the river. I don't remember a time when the Frambes and Hills weren't together. And then there were the times when Connie and Jack, Frances and Jim Reeder and Mom and Dad and I went Bar Hopping in Shawnee Hills. Everyone thought we were 4 generations out together. I will miss him greatly. He was a great friend and a dear part of my Daddy's life who gave the eulogy at his funeral. Love to you all, As Jack called me (Bethy)

Jack was a long time friend. I first met him when he was mayor of Dublin and I was just starting my construction business. He helped me immensely. We stayed in touch over the years and remained good friends. We will miss you old buddy. God bless.
