Time and distance separate friends, but memories remain forever. We were classmates from first grade until graduation. He and his family were always first class wonderful people. I was shocked to learn of his passing and will miss seeing him.

Doc was our family doctor for years. What a wonderful, caring man he was. His quick wit and smile always made our day no matter the reason we were in his office. I have, to this day, never found another Dr. like him. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Let us remember him with smiles. So sorry for your loss of this man who was larger than life. Blessings to you all, Helen Schmitt

As long as I can remember, Buzz, Pat and kids have been a part of our family. Living as neighbors in the Quonset huts at the "Village" in university housing continue to be the topic of many conversations in our family.
I will always remember Buzz as a kind-hearted man who always took an interest in our family, cooked the best steaks in town, and had a very disciplined lifestyle.
May God's presence be near to you all during these hard days.

Helga and I are profoundly saddeneld by Buzz's passing. When he went a big part of our lives went too. We feel deeply the loss of a great, true and loyal friend. But the fond memories remain to be cherished, and what memories they are! Buzz had special qualities which indeared him to us, and our lives were enriched beyond measure for having known him.
With love,
John ("Jack") and Helga Whiton

Dr Ackerman was my Doctor for 25 years until he retired and was our families Doctor even longer. I thought about him often since he retired and still have such great memories of him. To his family left behind I send my deepest sympathy. He was a great man and I feel privileged to have had him as my Doctor.

Iam so sorry to hear that Dr Ackerman has passed away I and my mother was just talking about him over the holidays It was 46 years ago that he saved my life. I was a very sick little girl and we had just moved to phoenix and had no doctor, my mom remembers calling numerous doctors offices and they wouldn't take us.I ended up with Rheumatic Fever which I can say that without your care I wouldn't be living a very healthy life. God bless you Dr Ackerman and god bless your family my deepest sympathies
