William Lock Obituary

William O. Lock (Bill)

Bill Lock passed away on April 1, 2011, at his home in Olympia with family at his side. He was born on March 20, 1924 in Memphis, TN, to William O. and Aileen Andersen Lock. At age 16 he joined the US Army and shipped off to Shanghai, China to begin a proud career in the Army which took him to both World War II and the Korean Conflict. After retirement from the Army, he joined the Civil Service. In 1973, he retired from Civil Service. In retirement, he held a number of positions, but most of all he loved to tend to his extensive garden and spend time with his friends and family.
Bill is survived by his wife, Kyong Sun (Chi) Lock, 3 children, Cassandra Lock, William O. Lock III, and Howard Lock, and 4 grandchildren. Memorial Services will be held at the Mills & Mills Memorial Park in Tumwater, WA on April 6th. Viewing begins 10:00 a.m., service at 10:30 a.m., with graveside service to follow. Memorial donations may be made to the Olympia Central Presbyterian Church, 7241 Pacific Avenue, Lacey, WA 98503 for the building fund.

Uncle Bill will always be Uncle Beeellll to me. I was so proud of him as he went all over the world in WWII and Korea. I still have two bracelets he brought me back as a young girl from Germany and Austria. He loved to bowl in his earlier days and Mimmie had some of his trophies. Tomorrow during the time of the service we will all gather here (Eunice and Dick, Mother and Larry and me and Uncle Henry will call us during that time.) That is the closest thing we can do to be with you. I was honored to have two days with him and to take care of him those two nights. He is in Heaven and has rejoined many loved ones already there.
With all our love to you, AP, Mary and Larry.
