Born in Watsonville in 1958, Bob is survived by his parents Len and Sharon, brothers Bill and Ed Ackerman, and a sister, Karen Olsen; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He enjoyed fishing; with two of his biggest catches being a 5lb Rainbow trout, and a 17lb Salmon while fishing with his Dad. He also enjoyed tying his own flies, and playing tennis.

Bobby died unexpectedly at his home in Mi Wuk Village on May 18th, 2020.

He was much loved and will be missed by all who knew him. Cremation has taken place; a private memorial will be held at a later date.

My name is Mike, and I was a friend of Bobby's for many years... And I was shocked by his sudden passing. Bobby was always cheerful and upbeat despite his surroundings; and I can honestly say that I've never heard an unkind thing said about him in the decades that I knew him. He will be missed!

Bobby was a friend to me at the lowest point in my life. What I needed at that point in time was an abundance of love. I also loved Bobby. It saddens me greatly to hear of his passing.

Bob worked for me along with being a great friend and neighbor. I even started wearing my baseball cap like him for a younger look. He was always doing favors for our family. He is really missed.
