My Condolences To The Lockett Family. I hold precious memories of my Cousin Willie. I will always remember the good times we had as teenagers and in our adult life. I would love when we would see each other when I was home in NOLA visiting family. His laughter was infectious. He will be missed tremendously. God Bless
