Uncle Locksley you were always the life of the party and a wonderful and special uncle. I still remember our family trip in 1973 to your home and my family visit in 2001. We last saw you on your last visit to Cayman with Daphne. You always had a smile and we're the life of the party. You're now with your beloved Daphne, Ricky, Dad and all your brothers and sisters. You will be missed. RIP.

Uncle Locksley, I have some really great memories of when we lived in Cayman. I remember coming home from church and stopping by your house. You always treated us so good. I will always remember you and that hearty laugh of yours. I will miss talking to you on the phone. Rest In Peace Love. Your niece Judy
