I only had a brief chance to get to know Jack, but what a great guy. He was always there with a smile on his face and a willingness to help with whatever he could. It was really a pleasure to work with him. I am so sorry that I've just learned of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.

To the Acree family,
Having recently lost my brother, I and my family share the pain you are feeling. I remember meeting Jack for the first time...I backed him up on a resisting arrest subject when he worked for LPD.
I worked with, and for Jack over the years...and a finer man, and better cop would be hard to find. I always knew I had Jack in my corner, and his friendship will be missed. We all go throught this life touching other's lives, I know Jack touched mine. God bless you Jack.....and until we meet again, my God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Mike -

God has his reasons when our calling comes -

Hurting and confusing our friends, family and loved ones

Keep in mind - their will never be a last good-bye

For one day, we'll rejoice once again - and not ask why

Your friends are here in thought
Always know that and never think not

but for now - my brother in blue
I pray and wish the best for you -

John & Lisa Anderson

I worked with Jack for many years. He was always one of my favorite people. The world will go on, but will always be less. He was that kind of man.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We send this poem to you Cory, Mike, Arleen and Jack's Mother. We send our deepest sympathy and love. Jerry & Rena

To Mike, Arleen, Cory and all of the family,

We have known Jack for many years. Years that will always be close to our heart with special memories of Jack. Jack was and always will be our friend. Someone you could always count on for help, a loving hug, a smile but most of all his friendship and laughter. There are few people like Jack that can make this type of an impession on people. Thank you Jack for being part of our lives and our memories. May God bless and comfort the family and friends that will miss this special man.

With loving thoughts,
Sharon and Dave Jones

Dear dear cousin Jack:

This last month has been so much fun talking with you. I feel like we have made up for a lifetime of conversations. You are so smart and funny, you kept me laughing all the time. I was really looking forward to seeing you and Aunt Marie this spring. But God had other plans for you. He saw your pain and decided you'd be better off with him. I'm already missing those conversations we had.
You have all ways been a great person. take care and give my Uncle Ethan a hug from "sweet thing" We LOVE YOU
