In the early 1950's their sons John and Fred joined their parents in the funeral home. In 1968, seeing a need for expanded and modern facilities, they constructed the facility at 1519 West Fourth Street.

In 1973 Jack, John's son, joined the family full time as a third generation funeral director.

In 1985 Fred sold his interest in the funeral home and moved to North Carolina.  In 1993 John and Jack expanded the facilities to twice their original size and completely remodeled and refurbished the original building.  John semi retired in1995 but is still as active as his health allows.

In 2001 Eric, Jack's son, joined the family full time as the fourth generation funeral director.

Through addition of staff and facilities we feel we are able to serve any family with whatever instructions they may have. In 1946 C.P. Locke vowed we would be "Where your wishes govern," and we are proud to say that, four generations later, that is still the case
