PETER LOCKWOOD

Peter Van Norden Lockwood  
Of Washington, DC, passed away on October 24, 2017, at his home, after a long illness. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Lee; his son, John; his daughter, Lizzie, a brother, John; sisters, Eleanor and Susan; and a host of first cousins. Born in New York City, Peter was raised in St. Louis, MO. He attended Harvard College, and Harvard Law School, graduating in 1966. Following a clerkship for Judge Bailey Aldrich on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, in 1967 Peter became one of two clerks for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, in that Justice's first term. Peter then joined the Washington law firm of Caplin & Drysdale, where he enjoyed a multifaceted practice until retirement in 2016. Peter will be remembered for his trenchant wit, his tremendous intellect, and his bottomless generosity. He loved the out-of-doors, especially hiking and diving. A special source of pride was the role he played in co-founding an environmental group, Clean Water Action in the 1970's, and which is still going strong today. He will be missed by all who knew him. A time to share favorite memories of Peter will be held at a future date.
