So sorry for your loss, I remember going to my grandparent's home, Robert Harvey McCampbell and Libba and the Speights would be there and a great time would be had by all. It was many years later that I had an opportunity when I was working at St. James School to see his sweet Locklar girls grow up.

I sold John trucks back in the 70's. Still tell stories he told me and quote his funny sayings today. Condolences to the whole family. He was a one of a kind character. I'll never forget him. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures. William Sikes
