Allen Oakley

Though we lived miles apart, he was always my loving brother who called me early in the morning on my birthday. When we lived together, through high school, he often went out of his way to support me. Allen was a really nice person and i'm happy to claim him as my brother.

Through his daughters, I met Allan (and Harriet) more than forty years ago. His welcoming spirit, sense of humor, and wide-ranging knowledge always have lifted my spirits. Ave, Allan Oakley!

Oh, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. O's passing. He and Harriet were my second set of parents during my high school years. Without a second's hesitation, they opened their home to me my senior year. Mr. O even built us a study room in the basement. Their generosity was unmatched by anyone or anything I have known since. How lucky we were to have him on the school board, even if we were embarrassed to have him hand us our diplomas. Thank you, Allen Oakley, for being such a great role model. My...

I had the pleasure of knowing him during the years that I taught Karen and Lisa. He was a kind, passionate father and it showed in his children. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in the wonderful memories of him. Laura St. George [email protected]
