ACREE, JAMES PERRY James "Jim" Acree, 75, of Albuquerque, N.M., the youngest son of the late Elwood and Sadie Acree, passed away at Presbyterian Kaseman Hospice in Albuquerque on Feb. 2, 2014. Jim is survived by his wife Gloria of 41 years; sons Daniel, Nathan and Anthony (wife Kaylyn, grandsons Andrew and Ryan, and soon-to-be-born grandson Colin); and two brothers Elwood Acree and Edward Acree. He moved to Albuquerque from Covington, KY with his family in 1947. After graduating from Valley High School in 1957 he earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of New Mexico. Jim served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1964-1966. After returning from Vietnam, he worked more than 40 years for the U.S. Forest Service, retiring in 2004 as a budget officer. Jim enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, camping and watching sports. He particularly enjoyed watching his sons participate in sports while growing up. The Acree family would like to thank the nurses and other caregivers at Presbyterian Neurology, University of New Mexico Hospital Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit and Presbyterian Kaseman Hospice for their compassionate care. In honor of Jim's request, there will be no memorial service or viewing. Cremation will take place and burial at Santa Fe National Cemetery at a later date.
