We just found out that Dr. Ackerman passed away. What a profound loss for so many and such a devastating loss for his family. Our deepest condolences to all who loved him. 

Dr. Ackerman was our dentist for many years. He was so much more than a dentist, though. He was very bright, knowledgeable, funny and so very kind. He was truly a light in anyone’s life fortunate enough to meet him. I imagine he’ll be a great angel and keep lighting the way for many people as he did in life. We will miss seeing him and talking about current events and great books that he had read. I loved to hear him talk about his rich and full life and about all the other kind people that he knew. 

Thank you for every moment you spent with us, Dr. Ackerman.  We miss you!

Mr. and Mrs. Garrett and Olga Baken

As a Friend of Andy’s, Dr. Ackerman gave me a job in my time of need when I was young & dumb.  lol.  He trusted me to join him and Susie, and he trained me to do his dental assisting when I could be pulled away from the front.  I learned how uncomfortable people could be going to the dentist.  Dr. Ackerman was who they needed to get the care they needed.  He was frank, down-to-earth, and loved to talk… talking you into comfort.  I hold him & his Family in the highest regard.  Carol, Erin, Andy, and everyone else, we are so sorry for your huge loss.  ~Karen, Thomas, and Ivy XXXOOO

Dr. Ackerman (IS) a wonderful man who happened to be a light in the darkness. 

I loved every visit I had with him and his staff.  My heart aches for his family and his staff.. 
My prayers are with them. 
See you soon brother Ackerman!

Shalom!

Holy XOXO'S!!!

Dr.Ackerman was a Mench....if you had a problem on the weekend he would open the offfice and show up in his slippers...and tell you a funny story....sadly missed...

I remember our cousin fondly.  What a great Ackerman family.

Sincerely,

I would schedule appointments around lunch time so afterwards  we could talk about current events in world.  . Lots of laughs, lots of memories.  More than once he would meet me at the office when it was closed to help with a dental need because that was the kind of person Doctor Ackerman was.  It was an honor to know him and he will be missed more than these words can say.

We mourn the passing of a wonderful man who was not only our dentist but our friend.  He was always there when we needed him.  Not only was he skilled practitioner but a person who was knowledgeable on so many subjects and compassionate to all.  We had many spirited and cordial discussions.  The entire community will miss him immensely.

my friend howard was such a bright light in this world… he never complained, he never spoke badly of anyone and he always left you feeling better about yourself & life. his wisdom will forever influence my life… i will always hear him in my head say “what can say?” after we have had a long discussion about ANY topic. he was one of my favorite people on this earth & now he will be one of my favorite people in heaven. my heart is with ALL the family, may he continue to LOVE, inspire and your uplift you ALL.

Howie will NEVER leave our hearts.  We shared our last vacation/cruise with him, along with several vodka gimlets.  Caring, honest, skilled dentist, and a walking source of practically any subject.  His love for his wife Carol, and family did not go unnoticed.  Rest well Howie.  

Howard was my dentist for close to 20 years.  He not only help with my dental health, but also provided a fresh view of whatever was going on in the world, kind of like DDS/MSNBC!  Howard, we'll miss you, and extend our deepest condolences to Carol, Erin, Andrew and their families.
