Mrs. Lock, Beth Ann, John,

Our hearts and prayers are with you, now and always. Papa Jack is in a better place, watching over us all. His love and strength was a shining example to us all during the course of his illness, he showed us how to live with what is delt with grace and dignity, no apology necessary for what can or cannot be. He will be remembered often and fondly,every time we say his name, and with little Captain Jack in the house will be very often.

What a loss. I know that Johnny is back with his brother Walter. My condolences to the remainder of the Lock family, I haven't been in touch in a long time but remember the Christmas celebrations at Arthur Allen when it was located in Chicago vividly and seeing Johnny, (Grandpa Lock) Walter, and Joey together. I'm sorry for your loss.
