Dr. William Eugene Acker

Bill's family and friends:
I went to Lewis and Clark with Bill. We haven't seen much of each other since. Though it shouldn't, that happens to busy people with families and careers. I did drop in to say hello a couple of times at his office in Willamette. I should have done more of that.
I always had a great deal of respect for Bill. He was very
focused and persistent in whatever he did, be it athletics,
the classroom, or his profession. On top of that, he was a good...

Darren, Tim, Vickie, and Michael:

I am very sorry for your loss. I have been thinking lately about all the memories I have of your dad from when I was a kid including what an amazing artist he was (I remember staring at his perfect cartoon drawings above the bar in your old West Lynn house), the multistory tree house he built for you guys there--the best tree house I've ever seen, and being excited to see what he/your family would give to Randy, Jennie, and I for Christmas (always...

Dear Darren, Tim, Vicky, and Mike,
I was saddened by your father's obituary notice. I will always remember the times that I spent with you when your parents were gone. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that life has been good to all of you.

Dear Sharon, Vickie and family:

I am so saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man. He had a special interest in each and every patient. He always made us feel so special. I remember my daughter crying when he retired.

I am so glad I got the opportunity to know him. He was the greatest dentist of all time.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Vickie and Acker family.Sorry about the passing of BILL. I enjoyed my visits at the office with him and talking about our golf and softball escapades. He will always be in my memories. God bless you and your family.

Dear Darren, Tim, Vickie and Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good man. I always appreciated how interested he was in my life and the wise advice he had to offer. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dan, and family, Sorry for your loss. I was a freind of Dan's,from school. Would enjoy hearing from him.

I spent a pretty significant portion of my youth hanging out and sleeping under an Acker roof, and eating Acker food. There were always lots of kids around, and Wild Bill was always engaging us with questions. If you didn't have an answer (or even when you did), he'd let you know what he thought of that, often with a half-smile and shaking his head. I will never forget him. RIP, Bill.
