Thomas G. Locke

Barnstead Locke Obit.jpg

Barnstead, NH - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas G. Locke, 76, on November 17, 2016. Tom was a life-long resident of Barnstead, growing up on Locke’s Blueberry Farm, the youngest son of Kent & Margaret Locke. 

 

Tom was a kind and gentle man and a loyal friend to all who knew him, willing to spend time talking about the Red Sox, deer hunting or farming to anyone who shared his passions. He went to Alton schools and was a key player on their championship baseball & basketball teams. He attended UNH where he participated in SCCA road racing with his Austin-Healey Sprite & Alpha Romeo. He transferred to Plymouth State College earning his bachelors degree. He taught high school for 1 year at Belmont, NH, coaching cross-country track, basketball & baseball. It was at that time the family was building Locke Lake and he returned to the construction business, building many of the houses there. In later years he enjoyed various occupations but returned to farming in 2006 running Veggies Galore & More with his wife Joanne (Fahma Jo).

 

Tom was a man of faith, sharing the gospel with others every chance he got. He was a  member of Milton Assembly of God, the Epsom-Chichester Lions and President, Belknap County Farm Bureau. He was a member of the US Army Reserve, 368th Engineer Battalion from 1965 thru 1971.

 

Tom & Joanne just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, marrying at the little church on North Barnstead Road across from their house. They have two children, Sara T Hardy of Epsom & Jeremy T Locke of Barnstead and three grandchildren, Alexandra, Matthew & Zachary, and a very special niece Zoë who they thought of as a granddaughter. 

 

Tom is survived by his brother James of Gilmanton IW and many nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by a brother Kent Jr of Gilford. 

 

A celebration of Tom’s life will be held on Sunday, December 11, 2016 at the Congregational Church of North Barnstead, 504 North Barnstead Road, Center Barnstead, NH. Please don’t be sad or wear black! Red Sox shirts/hats or your best hunting vest is encouraged! He will be looking down from Heaven enjoying the day.
