I've always been a daddy's girl. After loosing my father in the 80's i felt no one could make feel that way again. Then, i married into the Thompson family. I started our saying Papa George. But slowly that warm smile of his brought back that old feeling i had for my own father. I don't even remember when it became just "Papa". That love he showed me reminded be i was still a "daddy's girl". I will miss how his face lit up when i was around!
George was a wonderful, dedicated hard working employee of our company for 35 years. I actually worked side by side with him 50 + years ago while still in school. in all the time I knew him I do not remember him without that smile of his which matched his infectious personality! He is still missed as an employee and friend!

Speedy, the name I first knew. CC in hand , twisted smile, watery gleam in your eyes and a soft Abraham in your voice. He brought me great joy just to see him. A spirit that filled my heart to see his children as they to had a way of capturing my soul. The beauty and love that warmed my spirit was unmatched by his wife's family. To the Locklin family; tears flow from my eyes; I too hurt from the loss of this loving soul. To each of you as personal and private as you have been over the 50 years that I've known you, I am in sorrow. We had something great that we could see and touch; now we can only feel his presence. May the waters flow from our eyes with the joy and vision of grace. Let's mourn in our own special way and rejoice that he brought us all an unparalleled joy.
