I just found out of Ack’s passing. He was one of the “good guys”!. I will miss bantering w/him about our beloved Mountaineers.
Ack truly loved his family, and his Mountaineers.
There is a void in my and my wife’s heart!
Ack would always admonish me for referring to my better half as “the warden”. I will surely miss him!
Dave and Connie were such good friends to my daughter and me, I know Dave is now reunited with his beloved Connie. Sending my sincerest sympathy to Brad, Chad and Kyle. Thinking about you all.
Together again with Connie. May God Bless them both along with your families. Our sincerest condolences.
Dave was my backyard neighbor. He grilled out and worked on his yard – even last week. The neighborhood was sad to hear of his passing.
Together again may you both be at peace you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Bless your family.
For David’s sons and families; I want to express my deepest sympathy on his passing. I knew both your parents well as Aunt DeeDee was also my Aunt. I knew your grandparents also. Your dad and I sat all nite at Whg Hospital the night Uncle Cy died, to help Aunt DeeDee. He was a wonderful man and loved Connie . You all I know are proud of him and his commitment to St Michaels. He loved his golf and WVU; My prayers to all of you
I remember our high school days fondly and as well as Dave and Connie’s wedding. Over the years seeing them both at reunions, their love was very evident. Dave will be misssed by friends and family but I envision Dave and Connie happy together again. My sincere condolences to Ackermann family.
Our sincere condolences & love to Dave’s family. He surely loved all his family with a passion. We will miss seeing him & his travels with all his family, on Facebook. RIP Dave.
My sincere sympathy to Dave’s family…His kindness and enthusiasm for our Class of ‘66 will always be remembered. On Angels Wings Dave to be with your Connie….
Dave Ackerman was a teammate of mine at Central. I called him Ack Ack. I think he liked that.

My sincere condolences to his family. Joe Basil
