The Lockhart family holds a very dear place in my heart. Many childhood memories are linked with this family, the most wonderful to recall are camping/fishing trips, the cold hole and Saturday night domino games. Janice and Bruce, love y'all much and my prayers of comfort to you.

The Lockharts were charter members of First Baptist Moss Hill, where I was pastor for 6.5 years. The Lockhart family pulled the foundation timbers for the church by a two mule team from the forest. They were fast friends of the ministry while I was, with Opal and Nora Lou attending regularly. I visited their home many times, and have nothing but fond memories of them all, including Billie. A fine family, with a fine legacy. Billie and those who have gone before will be, and are, truly missed. God bless the survivors, and I pray they will keep the flame of integrity and good will going, that the others began.

Billie Bruce was a kind soul. One of the last of true farmers. May he rest in peace.

That memorial video was the best I have ever seen. There was so much love and it was in the eyes of all. I had the privilege of teaching some of his grandchildren . It was always evident that his values were passed on to them and their parents. What a well lived life. I pray for your strength to heal your great loss. God blessed you with this man.
