Although you look like "Little Buddy" from Gilligan's Island in this picture, you were always the "Skipper".
Lock you are the best! Thank you for all that you taught and enlightened me with when it comes to kids always first. I know you are working the Goal #2 Office up above and making it all about others. You will live in my heart and through my actions the rest of my life. Love you man!

We were both new teachers and volleyball coaches in the 80's! Full of energy and very competitive, you would call every year to scrimmage. Your Bethune team and my Webster team. Your enthusiasm motivated me to be the best. Tournament time always, Bethune 1st place and Webster 2nd!! Throughout the years you were my "cheerleader "! I was blessed to have you as a friend. Vaya con Dios.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the Locker family. Our family has fond memories of vacations in Cambria and Dinkey Creek with the Locker family. Holland most definitely made a positive impact for students and staff in FUSD and I was proud to call him a friend and colleague. Holland will be missed. We all need to remember our happy times with Holland Locker!
