We developed a friendship at that time. Prayers for the family. He was always so happy and upbeat, he was a joy to be around. Rooster, I know you are with God now, rest in peace old friend.

I just heard of Rooster's passing. I absolutely hate to hear it. My heart breaks. I love you Rooster & will always hold your memory close to my heart. My babies still talk about you!!!
To Aunt Rose and Family...Charles was a dear cousin - double cousin. He and I often tried to convince people (when we were in our teens and later) that we were brothers - even identical twins. We almost convinced a few. Growing up - we Acre bunch always - I mean always - looked forward to our Michigan Cousins coming to spend the summer with us. Momma (Verle Stacks Acre) treated us all as her children. We had lots of fun together each summer. One summer we all learned to swim - Charles, Linda, Sissy, Russ and me. J.N. Fielder taught us to swim in the North Cadron Creek. What fun! I remember so well when Charles, Larry and Uncle Doug would all go golfing at Burns Park, after Charles moved to North Little Rock. What memories---Especially when momma would whip me, she knew you were involved in the mischief too, so she would "beat us both", just to be sure proper punishment was delivered. I am sure Sissy, Linda and Russ were all snickering as they heard us howling from the "beating". May God bless all our wonderful Stacks Family. Even when there is a loss, there is joy in sorrow. No more pain, discomfort or disease...no more tears. Blessings to you Aunt Rose; Charles, blessings to your children, grandchildren. other family, loved ones and friends. We will all be reunited one day - on the Heavenly Shore...Our Love and Prayers from the Evans & Verle Stacks Acre Family.

The first time I met you at the Stacks reunion you made me feel so welcome. I will miss you and will always remember the kindness you should to me and my son.
I'm going to miss you Rooster. You were a kind soul and always thought of others before yourself. Your smile was infectious and always brought a spark of fun to everyone around you. My prayers are with your family and friends who will grieve your passing, but I'm am positive that you are spreading sunshine in heaven right now.
Charles, you are so loved. We will miss you so much and will look forward to seeing you on the other side.
Rest in peace!
