Victor Acker

Victor was a good colleague at Baruch College CUNY. He was well liked by all his students and imparted in them a love for literature.

A Victor,
A peine le contact rétabli, par mail, après une cinquantaine d'années, tu nous a quitté brusquement. Sache que je garderai jalousement nos souvenirs d'école primaire, nos sorties d'ados au cinéma avec Vivi ainsi que celui de ta personnalité chaleureuse. Ils sont indélébiles. Repose en Paix cher Victor.

Victor was a classmate at the Lycee Francais of Alexandria since the kindergarten. I do recall Victor as a serious and very good student. Since 1957, when I left Alexandria , I had lost contact with Victor. Now, after reading all his achievements, I can only say how proud I have been to have had Victor as a classmate.

Dear Mrs. Acker,

It was with much regret and sorrow that I came across the notice today in the New York Times of Victor's passing. My sincere condolences to you, the children and the rest of the family.

As you may know, Victor and I worked together at Ted Bates & Company some years ago. Though we did not see each other frequently after each of us left the company, I was always pleased when Victor...

With deep sorrow to his wife Carole
and his family and also tenderness to their marvellous white little dog(born in Paris= old story between Victor and me).

Eulogy to my brother, Victor,
as narrated by his sister Viviane Acker Levy.

What can I say about my Big Brother?
Sometimes we used to call him Totor, sometimes Vic Baby because he sometimes used to remind us of a big baby, like in his cute baby picture - and other times, Professor Acker.
To me, he was my best friend.
I would like to share with you a few vignettes of the relationship I had with my brother.
When I looked through our childhood...
