I was searching for this Professor who truly impacted my life after taking both of his ECON courses at ASUB. I'm now an Advisor in college who earned my MBA thanks to him. He coined the term "whiners and thumb-suckers" for those who often complained about his teaching. ...lol. I was one of those before I began to understand that he was only preparing me for learning. GOSH! I'm so sad to hear he passed away 10 years ago. Well done, Mr. Raber! Well done! You were the biggest INSPIRATOR in my education. Rest well, Professor..

Although I didn't know Jack well during the time we worked at ASU-Beebe together, I do recall the times that our paths crossed. He was always a gentleman and pleasant to be around. My sincere sympathy to his family and friends at this time of grief as he moved on to a better place. He will be missed by his students, co-workers and friends at ASU-Beebe.

I was honored to be one of Mr. Raber's students at ASU-Beebe. His class was very difficult, but I retained all the information until today.

There are many great teachers/professors that impact students' daily lives. However, only few of them will always be remembered by their sudents. Mr. Raber made such a significant impact on his students' lives that he always will be remembered.

My sincere condolences to family members and friends. I will keep you in my thoughts and payers.

Jack, you've been a member of our family for over 35 years; sharing in our wedding; birth of our son; part of the Canis Circle gang and most recently part of our son's wedding. We have shared many memorable concerts, football and baseball games and holidays and your humor and storytelling will be missed.
You'll never be replaced in our hearts, but you'll be missed and always be in our memories.
Goodbye for now, old Friend...

Jack was one of my favorite people to be around growing up. I always looked forward to when he would visit after he moved back to Arkansas from Texas. I got to know the non-business side of Jack until I became older and our conversations moved from old college stories of his to real life when I got married and had graduated from college myself. He was a genuine person who wanted to see the best from everyone he came across. I'm very grateful for all the memories that he gave our family. He will truly be missed!

I knew Jack as a friend and as a student at Henderson State in the mid 70's.I admired the fact that Jack worked in the private sector before teaching the youth of America "how the real world worked". I've carried that knowledge
with me the last 35 years and am glad I had that experience .So sorry to to hear of Jack's passing .God Bless !

When The Country Club of Arkansas first opened in Maumelle several years ago, a very distinguished man walked in and looked things over in the sales office. He had several questions and was very detailed and matter-of-fact but very nice and respectful. I noticed that he drove up in a Dodge Stealth that was spotless. He said he was a professor in Beebe. Before long, but with much careful deliberation, he bought a patio home on the golf course there. I sold him that home. His name was Jack Raber. Before the house was built, as it was going up, and after he moved in, he came in several times and we talked, visited, and laughed together. He left me with fond memories of a true gentleman. Time moved on and I no longer work there. Although I had not seen him in several years, I remember him well and would like to wish his family my sincere sympathy.

Mr. Raber was a tough character in my first class with him but after a while I began to not only understand him better but love him as a teacher. He was easily my favorite teacher and despite his tough exterior you could tell he was really pleased when a student not only asked questions, but was interested in economics and succeeding in class. Jack Raber wasn't afraid to tell his students to strive harder and put in more time and for that, I'm thankful to have had him before his passing.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Jack Raber. I taught with him for a few years at ASU-BB while working on a second masters. He was always willing to help me understand the concepts of my graduate economics class. He will truly be missed.

Of all the teachers I have known since I came to America three years ago, Mr. Raber has always been my favorite one. I really hate that I only got to know him for less than a year. He is my hero. He inspired me to love Economics and gave me great knowledge about life. I am glad that I was blessed to get to have him in my life. In my heart there will be a place for him for all my life.

This is one teacher that I will NEVER forget. He always put us, students, first. I hadn't known him very long, but in this short semester, he had a huge impact. I know he's in a better place now, but I wish that I could've known him for longer. I know I, among all his students, will miss him very much.

Jack was a student-driven professor who was passionate about teaching and preparing his students. ASU-Beebe was blessed to have him as long as we did...he will be missed!

I am very sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Jack was one of the instructors who convinced me that I should be teaching Economics when I served as an adjunct at ASU-Beebe back in the 1998/99 school year. He was a tough instructor who knew his subject and knew how to teach it. His students were well prepared to continue their college education.

We will miss you Jack. He was a great professor when I took him back in the mid 90's. He was also a great peer for the last 12 years since I have worked at ASU-Beebe.
