John Perry Oakes

A memorable summer with our Baba, at Pinehaven, Idaho.

Dear Baba, We miss you very much. You are forever in our hearts. Alex, Claire, and Grace

In loving memory of my husband and his beloved Vizsla, Targhee. Still loved, still missed, and very dear. Missing you today ( February 18, 2020) and always.

Dear Uncle John,

On the soon-to-be anniversary of your passing, I am thinking about the time we shared together. I remember living with you and Auntie Ellie before I moved to New York in 2004. You were so supportive of my career aspirations and my desire to live away from home, though I didn't know exactly what I wanted out of my life at that time. You even loaned me your truck while I was living there -- and I lost your keys! We kind of laughed about it at the time, but I felt so...

Ellie and Family,

John was a dear friend, my neighbor and fishing buddy.
He was a true gentleman, scholar and conservationist.

Thanks John for sharing your stories with me.
You talked about your dog Targhee and I would
talk about mine also named Targhee.

What great memories, especially the trips to Papakea in
'88, '90, '91 and '94. I can't say enough great things about
John, he was like a father to me, expecially after my dad
passed away in '88. I cherished his wisdom and advice
and loved his stories. He will aways be a part of me and
I will always remember him.

Uncle John,

We will all miss you very much. I will always remember
how encouraging and supportive you were of me. Each
time we talked, I knew you were proud of me. I am
pursuing a doctoral degree now inspired by your
commitment to learning.

Love,
Jenn
