Raymond Gene Lockhart
Oct. 7, 1935 - Jan. 14, 2023
QUEENSBURY - Raymond Gene Lockhart, 87, passed away Saturday, January 14, 2023, at Glens Falls Hospital with loved ones by his side.
Born October 7, 1935, in Glens Falls, he was the son of Albert S. and Elizabeth (Cooper) Lockhart.
Raymond married his sweetheart, Beverly Nobles, at St. Alphonsus Church in Glens Falls on June 25, 1957.
Raymond had a 40 plus year career in the restaurant industry. He was the Building Supervisor for De Santis Enterprises which operated the Howard Johnson's Restaurants in the region, Red Coach, and Carl R's. Raymond and Beverly ran a small lawn care business which they worked during the evenings for several years. In later life, they owned a magnetic jewelry business, Beverly's Unique Magnetic Jewelry, for 17 years. They also ran a foot detox business for many years.
Family was very important to Raymond. He and Beverly provided a family camp for all to gather for almost 30 years; the last one being on Glen Lake for 21 years.
Raymond and Beverly loved to travel. They did multiple cross country road trips to and from their winter home in Yuma, AZ. They took several cruises to places to include Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Australia, England, Scotland, and Russia.
In addition to his parents, Raymond was predeceased by his wife, Beverly; his infant daughter, Lauri Lee Lockhart; siblings: Bobby, Freida, Howard, and Frank Lockhart; and grandson, Richard Dempster, Jr.
Those left to cherish his memory are his children: Diana (Richard) Dempster, Randall (Wesley Neer) Lockhart, and Kimberly (Donald) Morse; grandchildren: Douglas, Andrew, Nathan, Kristen, Jennifer, Noah, Emma, and Jacob; 11 great-grandchildren plus two on the way; several nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Mattie, that he walked every day at Hovey Pond.
There will be no calling hours.
A graveside ceremony will take place in the Spring at St. Alphonsus Cemetery, 52 Luzerne Road, Queensbury, NY 12804.

Our deepest condolences to Ray's family! He is together again with Beverly. They were such an adorable couple. Such hard workers. We loved meeting up with them at various restaurants and catching up and going with Gaye to family gatherings. We will miss them at craft fairs too. They raised an incredible family of very caring people. I'm sure happy memories will help you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
