A lasting tribute to our founder, Jack Connors, Jr., was unveiled by his grandchildren at the base of 200 Clarendon Street in Boston. The event took place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, on what would have been Jack’s 84th birthday. 

The statue shows Jack Connors sitting on a bench with his arm outstretched, inviting you to sit next to him. It was created by Gloucester-based artist Pablo Eduardo. It is located in the courtyard of 200 Clarendon Street (formerly known as the Hancock Tower), where Jack had an office for four decades, first as co-founder of Hill Holliday and then the Connors Family Office.

The initiative was spearheaded by Joseph R. Nolan, Camp Harbor View board member, Eversource Chief Executive Officer, and longtime friend to Jack; Boston Properties Executive Vice President Bryan J. Koop; Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Maura Healey; and the Connors family.

During the ceremony, Governor Maura Healey remarked, “I hope when you visit the statue, you are reminded of the values and what he stood for: kindness, compassion, humility, looking to do for others, to care for others, and giving it your shot every day.”

“I knew if I had a question or problem, I could pick up the phone and I’d get the same ‘Hello … how are you, my friend?’ And I could unload whatever was going on first and then get the best advice in the city about what to do,” Mayor Michelle Wu said. “I miss that so much. And I find myself wishing that we could still get that advice,” Wu continued. “And so I try to think, ‘What would Jack say? What would Jack advise? What would Jack do?’ And I know I’ll have a very special place to come when I need to have those conversations — forevermore.”

We hope you will visit the statue and take a moment to reflect on Jack’s unwavering belief in the power of community, conversation, and possibility.
