Alan Oksen

Rosie and I want to send our regards to Leslie and the boys. We respected Alan and enjoyed his off center view of the world. He was an institution at OHS.

I was so sorry to hear of Alan's sudden death. We were neighbors growing up in Visalia and attended the same schools through junior college. It was great seeing him at our 50th class reunion. My sincere sympathy to Alan's family.

Leslie and family,
I knew both of you for but a short time. Alan was a great teacher. Our son Matthew loved Alan's classes. Peace and comfort be with all the family.

Sending prayers for your family. Mr. O was a wonderful man, he will truly be missed.

I was already on Mr. Oksen's radar the first day of class. My sister and cousins had him before me, so he knew I was going to be trouble!

His class was always good for a laugh, even if Mr. Oksen was the only one laughing, and the students were all rolling their eyes at his joke. He enjoyed himself! Also, looking back... he had a huge influence in my appreciation of stage production. How many students would never see a play if it weren't for the Christmas Carol fieldtrip?

I wish...

Our Uncle Alan was a wonderful man. God must have needed an angel....and he chose a strong loving one to look down over us. Love you Uncle Alan !!

Alan was always a deep and special friend. We were leads in Chantelle Stacy, a play together at Mt Whitney High School. One of the best hugs I ever received was from Alan at the class reunion! He had a love for everyone and a zest for life! The legacy he left behind will never be forgotten in the hearts of so many who had their lives touched by him. My heart goes out to Leslie and his sons...

So glad to have had a chance to Alan at our class reunion in Oct. He was a neat person.
