so sorry for your loss have known Bob & Joyce from many yrs. back.
I have too many memories to pin point just one. Living in California I had the great joy of having our vacations be in Franklin. I had so many sleep overs with Uncle Bob and Aunt Joyce and my 2 beautiful cousins. He always treated me as one of his daughters. I will miss him so much. You were my Uncle and my Moms younger brother. The memories will live in us all. I love telling my daughter about my trips to Pa and always telling her of my times with you. This is never good bye but until we are all together again. Tell my Dad and Gertie hey and all our loved ones there with you now. Love your neice Shar…….
Joyce, Leigh Anne, and Lori – I am sorry for your loss. I am relieved, as you are, that he is not suffering any more. I always enjoyed his smile when I came to visit. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers – Jodi Baker-Lewis

I will always keep close to my heart the memories I have of Uncle Bob…watching football games, playing cards and campfires at Vacation Land. Oh and how much he loved his family…and especially “his woman”! Aunt Joyce, LA and Lori…you know I love you all. Praying God gives you all peace and comfort during this difficult time. ~Jen H. and family
Joyce, Lori, & Leigh Anne, I had the pure pleasure from youth until present & being able to say that Bobby Lockhart was my Friend. No matter the circumstance or situation Bobby was a ray of sunshine wherever he happened to be. Always eager & willing to share a laugh or share in a sorrow with you. Always a pleasure to look up & see him & his “Ladies” pull into my driveway for a visit. Joyce remember “B’s”garage sale when Bobby decided that he would put on a fashion show by putting on “B’s” high heels & modeling them. When you visit him via Lord Jesus, be sure to tell him that “B” & I send our LOVE. Remember that we are as close as the telephone. I love you all. “THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND”. Love & Prayers– LaVerne “HANK” & “B”
Joyce and Family, Thinking and Praying for you all in this very difficult season of your lives. Mike & Linda Quinn

I always was and forever will be your Good “DOOBIE” !!! ~ Forever in my heart with love ~Brenda & John
