Robert A. Oakley Ph.D.

Our 45th high school reunion is this June - you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I just learned about Bob's death last night. I am so sorry that we lost touch with each other. He was a steadfast and loving friend.

All morning I've been hearing the lyrics to a song he recorded on a eight track tape for me in 1978.

"When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me ...

You've got a friend."

Though it's been so many years, I trusted our friendship...

I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was a good friend during my teen and early adult years. He was kind, gentle and loving. I will always remember his generosity, his humor, his ready smile and his love. I send my love to his family, especially his wife, during this very sad and tragic time. Lynda

I believe Bob was in school with me at John Marshall, we were in Political Science class together. I'm in charge of our reunions and its really hard seeing someone you know especially our age pass away. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
