Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of working directly with Reed for over 15 years. He was my friend, advisor, and librarian first, co-worker second. I have so many good memories of Reed, it seemed there was no subject he didn't have some knowledge of. We spent a lot of time talking about our families, he had a genuine, not a passing interest in all of my kids, particularly my son Austin who shares his intense love of the game of golf. He taught me how to sharpen a knife, knew my taste in fiction and always...

Nancy, my most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace and may the peace of the Lord surround you in the coming weeks.

Reed's love of the game of golf meant that we could count on seeing him here at Instant Replay Golf at least once a week for many years. All of our staff, past and present, were saddened to hear of his passing and would like his family to know how much he'll be missed. His ready smile and hearty laughter made him a favorite "repeat offender"--our term for the regular customers who have become like family at the shop. I do believe that there are no slices, hooks or three-putts in Heaven--and...

From one of the many Texas law enforcement officers who benefited from having Mr. Lockhoof represent them in a lawsuit, I appreciated the comfort, knowledge and experience that he offered. I have always been thankful for his professional representation. It’s certainly admirable in our society for a man to continue to work for the betterment of society, when the lure of more money must have been tempting on the other side. The world is a better place because of him. He was a colorful man...

Reed was a great man and a joy to be around. He was a fine mentor to me when I worked at the attorney general's office and we tried a case together. Reed will truly be missed. My condolences to his loved ones--know that God is with you always and especially during this time.

Reed was a true friend to law enforcement and a legend in the Attorney General's Office. I first met Reed around 1980 when he was a young Assistant Attorney General and I was a much younger cop. Reed had a huge reputation in state law enforcement circles as being on the "A" team of the AG's Office, mostly because the Attorney General would send Reed in on some of the most difficult and complex cases. Reed defended numerous law enforcement officers throughout Texas when they were wrongly...
