Robert Locke Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lambie Funeral Home - Philadelphia on Feb. 17, 2026.
With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Robert James Locke, known affectionately as Bob, on February 16, 2026. Bob was born on September 24, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA, and spent his life making a difference in the lives of those he loved. He was a humble and loyal man, always putting others before himself. His thoughtful and empathetic nature made him a beacon of light in the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.

Bob's career in banking spanned over four decades, retiring from Mellon Bank in 2014. Bob found joy in the simple things in life. He loved taking long walks, spending time with his family, and enjoying the outdoors. He also had a soft spot for warm weather and the beach. He believed in living life to the fullest, a philosophy he instilled in his children and grandchildren.

Bob is survived by his sons, Glenn and Keith Locke, his daughter-in-law, Cara Locke, and his grandsons, Cooper, Tucker, and Mason Locke. He also leaves behind his ex-wife, Paulette Locke, his brother, Thomas Locke, and his sister, Carol Riley. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Rita Locke, and his sister, Linda Durante.

Relatives and friends may greet his family on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 from 10:00 am - 11:00 am at Lambie Funeral Home, 8000 Rowland Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19136. His Funeral Service will follow at 11:00 am at the funeral home. Interment will take place at Sunset Memorial Park.

Bob's life was a testament to the power of humility, loyalty, and empathy. His memory will forever remain etched in our hearts. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Bob on his memorial page. Your stories and pictures will serve as a tribute to a life well-lived and a man deeply loved.

My uncle Bob will always be remembered; we had some good times when we were younger and the families got together, especially at Christmas time and family picnics at my grandparents' house playing quoits and poker games in the summertime and swinging on the tree swing and hanging with cousins! We will miss him very much.
