“Joanne, Jane and I are sorry to hear this news. I knew Nobi for countless years, first as a Department Chair when he and I were both serving in that role, and later as a colleague who was always thoughtful and kind. His advice was valuable throughout my time at Clarkson. He was always pleasnt, with never a harsh word for anyone. He will be dearly missed by all his colleagues. Shankar Subramanian”

“Joanne, Helen and I are so sorry for your loss. You and Nobi were such good friends and neighbors. And he was a valued colleague, who led the department all those years through our scholarly advancement. Of course, we all looked forward every year to his rendition of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Joe”

Brian Helenbrook wrote a sympathy message

“Nobi was always a positive influence on everything at Clarkson. One of my favorite Nobi pieces of advice was "have a question on the exam that you think is ridiculously easy. That way you can separate those people who are totally clueless from people who are just not very good" :-). That still makes me laugh. I will miss him a lot. Julie and I send our condolences to Joanne and all of his family.”

Leo Titus wrote a sympathy message

“My heartfelt sympathies to the Ackerman family. Professor Ackerman was my professor in 1989-90. One of my favorites. He taught me, my brother and my cousin in the 1990’s and had a positive impact on each of our lives. We speak of him often. I can only imagine how many lives he’s touched over his long, distinguished career at Clarkson.”
