To Mary and the entire family, I offer my sincerest sympathy. I also had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Jack in the 70's at the Mountain Station. My first meeting Jack occurred in 1974 when I was fresh out of police college. Along with the other newbies, I had to attend the Sherman Ave Station to receive more training. We were in class with other more seasoned officers, Jack being one of them. Who was this giant of a guy? Jack Beere. He sounded gruff at first but he soon showed his gentle and humorous side. I'm glad to have been in the class photo with Jack. A fond memory of Jack is hearing him on the front desk answering the incoming phone calls with "Mountain...Beere". The public didn't quite know how to take that but I certainly appreciated the humour of it. May you all have grand memories of Jack.

A big teddy-bear of a man. Always enjoyed our chats.

Jack was a good guy and a great friend. A dog's best friend. We enjoyed our time together. Great sense of humour, told it like it was. I will surely miss him.

Mary... Lynn and I are so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to be partnered up several times in a patrol car with Jack. We shared many family stories which turned into lots of laughs. He was my inspiration for joining the K9 Unit for which I am so grateful.

Jack was one of the friendliest people I have ever met. He tried so hard to have that gruff, no nonsense personality, but anyone could see through that in a minute! He was just too nice of a guy. You will be missed greatly by all who knew you.

I had the pleasure of working with Jack in the 80's at the Mountain Station. You always knew Jack was there, a powerful and welcoming personality.
My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family and friends. I remember him as "Jack" a huge man with a gentle nature. He was always there to talk to me, usually offering a funny, sarcastic comment to anything I said. He called me "kid" for the first 2 years I knew him. I remember his holster used to be on a strap that hung down almost a foot below his waist, because of the length of his arms. He was a pleasure to work with. Rest in peace.

I grew up in Ancaster in the late 50's and 60's. I remember great big Cst. Jack Beere, being around town in those days.

I had the pleasure of having worked with Jack at the old Mountain Station. He had a big heart and often had me laughing with his witty perspective on issues. A true gentle giant. My condolences to the Beere family.

Mary.....I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I worked K-9 with Jack starting in '76 with Gord Ruhloff and Ron Lackie. Jack always had a smile and could make any of us laugh.
And yes....he did love Ego.
May he rest in peace.

Worked with John off and on over the years. Always enjoyed his wicked sense of humour. Always a lot of fun to be in John's presence.
