FRANK HOPKIRK "FRANCIS" ACKERMAN

Frank still remains an indelible part of my professional life. I am grateful for all I learned from him about economics during the time I was fortunate enough to work with him. He will always have a starring role in my own presentations and teaching on economic topics. Thanks Frank!

Frank was an extraordinary treasure to humanity, inspiring innumerable individuals like myself through his incisive writings. He was a compassionate economist, a powerful advocate, and spoke truth to power throughout his professional life. Frank has generated a legacy that motivates all of us who share his positive vision for the health and well-being of people and the planet. Thank you, Frank.

I will miss seeing his sweet, happy, smiling face as he played with - and I danced along to - the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band.

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Frank. I learned a lot from him, and had a great time doing it. Not only was he an outstanding economist and a talented trumpet player, he was a great guy to hang out with. He will be missed and well remembered.

So sad to learn. What an admirable human being, with a very strong social conscience, brilliant cutting-edge economist, and a remarkably passionate advocate for taking action on the mega-perils confronting humanity. Frank will be sorely missed.

Frank was a very talented person who understood that a gifted intellectual is obligated to teach others.
He did this in his many diverse activities that reached so many
