                 REMEMBERING GEORGIA SENATOR JACK HILL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RICK W. ALLEN

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 10, 2020

  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of a 
Georgia legend, State Senator Jack Hill.
  Jack represented his home of Reidsville in the State Senate since 
1991. For decades he ensured Georgia's budget was balanced, fair, and 
served the people well. The State of Georgia is a better place thanks 
to his leadership.
  His love for his hometown was evident in everything he did, from 
running his grocery store business as owner and operator of Hill 
Shopping Center, to serving in the Georgia Air National Guard for over 
three decades, including as a unit commander and State Inspector 
General.
  While some will say he was a pillar of the community, I believe he 
wasn't just a pillar; he was the foundation upon which the pillars were 
built.
  Jack Hill was a true statesman and he will be sorely missed by many, 
but especially by his wife Ruth Ann, their children, and grandchildren. 
However, I am confident his impact on our great state will be felt for 
generations to come.
