tribute request from the lockhart family
Share your memories of Tony
As some of you know, we are putting together a tribute book to honor Tony, who passed away on August 28, 2021. We want generations to come to know him through this book! : )
Thank you so much for being a part of Tony’s life and loving him throughout his years. Please take some time to share a favorite Tony story with his kids and grandkids via the simple form below.
Your remembrance will be included in the book.
A few tips:
Be specific. Share stories and details and moments in time to illustrate WHY you loved him (rather than saying “I loved him so much”).
Don’t be afraid to be funny. It is a gift to share memories of him that make us smile, even laugh. So be as serious as you like, but remember it’s okay to be funny, too.
You can choose to write ABOUT Tony, or TO him—whichever feels more comfortable to you. If it seems natural to write a brief letter directly to Tony, then do so. Either way, your words will resonate most if you write them how you would speak (in other words, forget about sounding formal and worrying about “writerly“ things—just speak from the heart).
