On February 8, 1933, a handsome young man was born to Franklin Monroe and Stella Ethel Sams Lockhart, who resided on Pumpkin Road in Woodsfield, Ohio. The same day he was born, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was declared President of the United States.
Herb grew up on Pumpkin Road until the day his parents sold their farm property to the State of Ohio, at which time they then moved to East Liverpool, Ohio around 1942. He attended schools in East Liverpool and was a 1952 ELHS graduate.
Herb enjoyed his life in East Liverpool with his family and friends. He was the owner/operator of Lockhart's Service Station (now Spirit Exhaust) and loved the clients he had continuously. He was an electrician with the Midland Steel Mills and enjoyed his trade. He retired in 1995 from the mill.
He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict in the Panama Canal Zone and wore his uniform proudly.
After retirement, he enjoyed woodworking, making very special gifts for family and friends. He was so PROUD of his accomplishments and took many pictures to show when asked about his woodworking. In addition, he took care of his granddaughter, getting her on and off the bus and doing things with her daily. They sang together frequently and HE LOVED when she sang the Toby Keith songs, especially the one "I'm just talking about tonight" and would throw her voice.
He married his wife, Thelma on February 7, 1958 and they had three children, nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He leaves two sisters.
He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, three sisters and two grandchildren and his fur-daughter, Duchess Lockhart.
**********
My father was a kind and loving, sometimes quiet man. He enjoyed life, family and friends. He would take the shirt off his back for anyone and enjoyed company all the time.
He fought a long hard battle and during the most struggling times, he never showed his pain. He was a sweet and respectful patient!
I will miss my father but more importantly ---- I AM SO GLAD THAT I GOT TO CALL HIM MY DAD!
Love you Dad!
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
