Locker was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo.
He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Locker. Locker who, loved bowling.
And so, Locker Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

Locker was a good climber, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and climbing, and as a climber he explored the cliffs of Southern California, from Apple Valley to Joshua Tree and... up to... Yosemite. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Locker. Locker, who loved climbing. And so, Theodore Locker Karabozoz, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

Locker is alive and well on Mountain Project
Another sign of eminent death dealing with those people, probably a cry of help discussing anchors, aliens and what rubber should I wear now. Death by a thousand dumb questions.

If Reilly got booted I am gone. Not like I post much though. Or Reilly posts stuff that would get him booted.
Locker always cracked me up the way he would follow Jody's posts with some kind of swine innuendo.
