1958 through 2015 - That is a heck of run for BFF's.  Jack was the best friend anyone could ask for and have.  We had some great times together and even better times when we included out wives.  His passing will leave a void in my heart.  Cee our prayers are with you, Jeff and David and the family.  See you soon.

Cecelia;  Thoughts and prayers are with you, the boys and their families. I have fond memories of your visits to Dr. Schwartz office. They may not all be fond memories for David & Jeff. But, I remember well your precious young family and your sweet caring husband.   Also...our friendship and my time at your home on the circle in Fresno. Hugs...

Jack was a great neighbor, you couldn't have asked for a better one.  We went to dinner with him and Cecelia Monday nights and we kept an eye out for each others places when one or the other was gone.
We will miss seeing him walk his dog up and get the paper every morning.  He will be greatly missed.

Jack was a kind, compassionate soul. His easy going manner and soft disposition made him a joy to be around and work with. He did law enforcement proud. The world needs more Jack Bonesteel's. God bless him.

I don't recall anyone with the disposition that Jack had.  It was my honor to have learned from and served with him he was a great person.

The days have passed when grandpa let me wear his race car helmet.  All his races were awesome!!  I can only remember him as my grandpa. I love him. R.I.P Grandpa.

Jack was always a kind and kindred spirit to me and many others. Always giving to others. A true blessing to be around. Never selfish but always giving.  Greg Ellis.

We were rookies together on the nite shift.Jack was a conscientious and hard working partner.Through the years I found Jack to be one of the very nicest persons I have ever known.Ed Manuszak.

Jack was an outstanding officer and dedicated to serving others. It was an honor to work with Jack.

RIP Jack.  You were a good person to know and a great officer with FPD.  I worked with you many times in the past and always found your advise both good and helpful.  The city of Fresno lost one of the best of the best when you retired and now we all have the loss.  I had not talked to you since you retired but you were on my mind many times when I needed some good advise.  To your family- thank you for sharing him with us in his years on the police department.  You should be proud of the man he was.

Jack was a patient and effective teacher/trainer & mentor.  I learned much more than "the ropes" from him.  He was an honorable man and a good cop.  I will remember him, as such, throughout my life.

I rode with Jack in West Fresno when I was a rookie police officer.  I learned a lot from Jack.  I remember being impressed with his ability to remain calm in difficult situations.  Even though I I was new, he always treated  me with respect.  Rest in Peace Jack.

RIP Jack - Glad you had some years of enjoyment racing your Formula Vee.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
