James Lock

Jim was our brother-in-law as well as friend. We'll always remember his kindness and his great sense of humor. He was a true Southern Gentleman who treasured his family and friends. There are very few men left that are of his caliber. It was a blessing to know him and he will be missed. May God bless his family.

Dear Sandra, Marc, and Emmy,
David and I are deeply saddened to hear about Jim. I taught math in the room next to Jim's for a year and used to marvel at his infinite sense of humor, even in times when laughing was furthest from the mind. He will be remembered with kind thoughts by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,
Peggy and David Yountz

Mr. Lock was my 6th grade math teacher at Green Run elementary school. He is one of the first teachers that I remember as one who made his subject matter interesting and took a genuine interest in his students. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

Jim Lock was an incredible teacher -- one that would keep you engaged, make math your favorite subject and keep you laughing. I was lucky enough to serve as a patrol for him and will never forget his green Karmann Ghia convertible. My condolences to Jim's family. He will be dearly missed.

Sandra,

I am so, so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I cannot imagine losing your soul mate. I hope that your wonderful memories of him will be a comfort to you.

Love and hugs,
Lori Schools

So very sad to hear of the passing of one of the best teachers the City of Virginia Beach ever had. My deepest condolences for his family. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ... Carole Lebert Richardson Va. Beach, VA

Jim was sincerely the finest man I knew. As with many I'm sure, Jim was there for me when I had no one else and I am forever indebted to him. He was my good friend and I will miss him. Sandra and family, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I am so sorry.

My deepest condolences to the Lock family. Mr Lock was my sixth grade math teach at Green Run Elementary. He is one of the few teachers that taught you more than just "math" and always took the time to talk with you, not to you. That's tough to do. I'll Always have kind memories of him and will be forever grateful for all the help and guidance he provided over the years. He will be deeply missed by all those he taught, listened to, and helped.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim was a wonderful, kind man who will sadly be missed. Karla, Karmen & Meagan Rivera
