Lawrence Lockman Obituary
Following his honorable discharge from the Army, he worked at "Prinzing's" Fruit & Vegetable Market in Faribault, Owatonna & Austin. Larry married Ethel M. Hrabik on Jan. 7, 1948 in Faribault, MN. They made their home in St. Paul/Mpls, then settled in Albert Lea and then managed the "Prinzing's" Fruit Market until they closed. Larry also worked at Western Grocery, then Gateway Foods in Mpls.
Larry loved to fish on Rush Lake with his family and also had a fascination with automobiles. Larry was known for sharpening everyone's knives and carving the holiday meats. He loved to make woodworking items like birdhouses, Santa's, planters & furniture. Larry enjoyed going to craft shows and was in the background sketching the items and then came home and started making those items for gifts for the family. The family always knew what we were all getting for a gift after the 1st one opened their presents as we would all get the same.
One of Larry's famous words was "Okay". Larry was a sweet, gentle, strong willed, and polite man, husband, father and grandfather.
Surviving family includes: wife of 65 years, Ethel, children, Priscilla Douglas, David (Kathy) Lockman, Pam (Dennis) Schmidt, grandchildren, David (Amy) Lockman, Kelly (Jerry) Randash, Kevin Lockman, Amie (David) Fehn, Michael (Amy) Lockman, Paul Lockman, Rachel(Steven Lehner) Schmidt, Andrea (Elvis) Mitchell, Jessica (Peter) Conway and 13 great grandchildren.

To the greatest Grandpa one could ask for .My fondest memory would have to be coming over and digging through the candy dish and grabbing all the chocolates , or exploring all the treasures you kept in the garage .
Its hard for me to say goodbye to such an amazing person I love you Grandpa .

I will always remember when you took Kevin and I icefishing to Crooked Lake and how heavy your fish house was as we took it out of your truck because you had "reinforced" it like you did to a lot of things. I will think of you often when I go fishing. Thank you for the memories! Love you Shramp!~ DJ

My Father In Law, Larry, was without a doubt the kindest person I've known in my life. He had the best one liner's with a delivery that was sure to leave you laughing. I will surely miss this man! RIP Larry.
