Earl Alvin Locke, 85, of Vine Street, East Liverpool, passed away following an extended illness at 8:30 a.m. Friday, April 7, 2006, while visiting his eldest son, Wayne, and his wife, Marsha, in Merino Valley, Calif.
Born in East Liverpool on October 25, 1920, he was the third son and fourth child of James A. Locke, Sr. and Ital (Hill) Locke.
He had spent his lifetime in the area, with the exception of his time spent serving in the military during World War II with General Patton's Army and in Belgium from 1942-1945.
He attended Pleasant Heights School and Bell School, which was one of the last one-room schools in this area. He was a 1938 graduate of East Liverpool High School.
Prior to the service, he was a kiln placer with Homer Laughlin China Company. Following the war, he trained as a clock and watchmaker with James Locke Jewelers until 2003, when he was needed at home due to a family illness.
He was a longtime member of Trinity Church, where he had served as Deacon, Elder, Trustee, and also belonged to the Amikitia Group.
A devoted member of the East Liverpool Lions Club, he had served in various positions over the years, including president, treasurer and Tail Twister. He received a 40-year Monarch Pin and an award for many years of perfect attendance. For several years, he served as advisor to the Boy Scouts Explorers, Pack 12.
The game of golf was a great source of pleasure to him, as was playing his harmonica. He enjoyed taking it to nursing homes to play, and also entertained his friends at the East Liverpool wharf on the Ohio River.
His beloved wife, the former Doris Gadd, preceded him in death on November 1, 2005. They were married February 16, 1943.
Surviving are two sons, Wayne A. Locke, and his wife, Marsha, of Merino Valley, Calif., and Darrel H. Locke, at home.
There are eight grandchildren: Jason D. Locke and his wife, Patty, of Indianapolis, Andrew R. Locke and his wife, Kirsten, of Mesa, Ariz., Stephen M. Locke of East Liverpool, Aaron M. Locke of Cleveland, Sarah W. Locke of Studio City, Calif., Amanda Locke and Jonathan Locke and his wife, Lara, of Merino Valley, and David J. Locke and his wife, Lori, of East Liverpool.
In addition, six great-grandchildren also survive: Cecilia Locke and David J. Locke, Jr. of East Liverpool, Taryn and Remy Locke of Indianapolis, and Jaden Locke and Indica Sullivan of Merino Valley.
