Richard T. Ackley

Dr. Ackley was one of the best professors in the realm of national security. His mentoring of myself and other students was exceptional. As the only foreign national accepted in this highly specialized program, Dr. Ackley guided me tremendously in the realm of understanding national security and the world. He would have certainly been proud to know that his student has become the national security advisor to a government in the Caribbean. More than his academic expertise, he was a sincere and genuine human being. May he always have that tranquility and calm repose in his soul. May God always bless his children.

May Gods loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time. Psalms 29:11

My sincere condolences to the family. In this difficult time may you find comfort in our Creator who comforts us with his promises. 1 Thessalonians 4:14

May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Those who have died, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest sympathy.

It's hard to say good-bye...but it's good to have warm memories to hold on to.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the broken hearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain you during this difficult time. (Isaiah 61:1,2) Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the God of tender mercies strengthen and comfort you during this difficult time.
