I knew Matthew Lockerman through the eyes of my Grandson, Jay Lockerman, who had a great desire to know Matthew, his half brother.



I send my deepest sympathy to Kelly and her family and to the Lockerman family. Each of you will be in my thoughts and prayer.

Deepest sympathy to Matthew's family and friends. We didn't know him but have been friends for about 65 years with his paternal grandparents, James R. (Slim) and Ellen Lockerman; therefore, we particularly join them in their grief.
