John gave me my start as an attorney. We were friends and partners. I think of him often. Just yesterday I passed the sign for his office while driving. I have always admired his wit. Just wish I had visited him. Rest in pease my friend.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time of grief. (Hosea 13:14) May the memories of those days gone by, sustains you and warm your hearts in the days and years ahead. My deepest condolences to all.

John Lockridge was highly respected and very well-liked by all of his colleagues in the legal community. He was fond of saying that he began to practice law "shortly after the earth cooled." So, just about everyone who is currently practicing law has had an opportunity to see John work. He had a rare ability to be tenacious and gracious at the same time. He was supremely witty and always fascinating. He will be missed.
