Press Statement  Governor Healey Issues Statement on Jack Connors

Boston — Governor Maura Healey today issued the following statement on the passing of philanthropist Jack Connors.

“Massachusetts lost a champion today and I have lost a friend. Jack Connors was a leader in business, but his most lasting legacy will come from his generosity and philanthropy. Jack spent his life trying to make Massachusetts and this country a fairer, more inclusive place - and he succeeded. From the creation of Camp Harbor View to his advocacy for education, health care, and community, Jack’s legacy will live on through the countless lives he transformed. We all owe Jack Connors an enormous debt of gratitude. My deepest condolences go to his wife, Eileen, his children, his grandchildren and his many devoted family members and friends.”
