    I had the pleasure of knowing Lockridge (as we affectionately called him) when I worked at Harvesters. He loved his family fiercely. He also loved to pick at people and was devilishly fun. I love that man dearly. I know he rejoiced at reuniting with Ms Naureen and Kim. My condolences and prayers for the family.
