Dr. Ackermann was my primary care MD, when he ran the immediate care centers. He was not just a great doctor, but he was a friend. I will really miss him, as people like him have made the world a better place,

Dearest Kim, Jason, Megan and Family,



When we lose someone we love there's an emptiness we feel inside. An emptiness of that person no longer visibly here. But they are here within our hearts, and that is something that can never be taken away. At present you feel the hurt of not to be able to see Ken, to touch or talk to him. But in your own way you can communicate with him by thoughts, by memories, by all the joys, and by all the sorrows shared. This is not an ending; it's the beginning of a new life for Ken. A life of happiness in the golden place love, where Ken can now bask in the wonders of heaven. God's Peace. Much love.

We just learned that Dr. Ackerman had passed away and we are so deeply sorry for your loss. Kim, as I told you in Dr. Minardi's office we really believe that Dr. Ackerman saved our son Allan's life who was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Dr. Ackerman has always been in our prayers and will continue to be along with you and your family.
