This is the obituary for Neil Oakley, who was the younger brother of Ronald Oakley. He was a photographer and died in WWII. At some point, according to Larry Oakley, he changed his name the spelling of his name to Neill, which you can see in the obituary.
As I have heard it, the day his mother Pearl received the letter telling that Neill had died was an awful day. Pearl was so upset that she dropped to the floor, crying.

Hello, I'm looking for family Neill Oakley killed in action May 13, 1943 aboard a B17. Neill was buried in American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer in Normandy. Member of the Association flowers of memory, I'm blooming Neill's grave as often as possible. I'd be really happy to have contact with members of his family.
