ROSCOE—AS REMEMBERED BY HIS SISTER MARGARET 01/21/1004

 

I first met Roscoe when I was 21/2, and he was only a few hours old.  It was dislike at first sight.  Here was this little boy taking my place as the baby of the family.

 

He didn’t have a middle name as is usual in the South, but he did acquire many nicknames.  Recently, in the hospital, I wasn’t sure he knew me.  I called him by one of his least favorite nicknames.  He immediately corrected me on the pronunciation of it.

 

As we grew older and played together, I learned not to be jealous of him – not easy, because everybody fussed over his soft blondish curls and big blue eyes.  Anyway, he was no longer the baby.  We now had a baby sister, Lucille.

 

Living in the country as we did it was not possible to get to Sunday school  often, however, our mother taught us well and read the Bible to us.  John 3:16 was a favorite of hers and became ours as well.

 

Our parents died when we were teenagers.  Roscoe and I had to work together doing farm chores, cooking, and other household things.  At that time boys and men didn’t do the cooking and “girl’s work”.  Roscoe was helpful though.  One day he made a delicious, many layered chocolate cake.  It was made clear to me, that I would suffer the pain of death if I told his buddies about this.  As many of us know, with a little provocation, he could show a temper.  Roscoe’s learning to cook, when were kids, served him well as a cook in the Philippines preparing “gourmet” meals for hungry, “grateful” soldiers during WWII.

 

Roscoe’s wife, Betty, was my good friend who I met at church after I moved to Washington, DC.  After his stint in the service, Roscoe came to visit me.  It was there at my apartment that he met Betty and their marriage and two beautiful daughters soon followed.

 

Roscoe was a master story teller.  He was always the life of the party.  At one time, as adults, we had a moveable house party with about a half dozen families.  We met at a home, had dinner and fun and games.  Roscoe held center stage with people laughing and rolling on the floor.  Invited guests would call ahead to be sure that Roscoe would be there.

 

As a baby, Roscoe had pneumonia three times, which weakens the heart.  On one occasion, our mother prayed him back to life.  In his forties, he had a heart attack.  Later, there was by-pass surgery followed by many other surgeries.  He survived them and came out fighting.  He had a weak heart, but a strong will.  His heart was strong enough to hold all his many, many friends, his siblings and their offspring, his wife, daughters and adopted family, his grandson, Isaac Roscoe, the “apple of his eye”, and his special friend, Annie, who kept him company through  long otherwise lonely hours.

 

Today we celebrate Roscoe’s life as his soul has been “promoted to Glory”.  He is receiving the real meaning of John 3:16.  For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him will have everlasting life.jjj

 

His father’s parents and some of his father’s siblings are as follows:  Timothy Locklear, grandfather, B. December 1841; Grandmother, Eliza Dial Locklear, B. January, 1844.  Their children: Aggie M., B. Dec. 1869; James (Rosco’s father), B. Feb. 1877; William, B. Nov., 1862; Luther Locklear, Timothy’s grandson, B. July, 1896.  Farm is rented.  Both he and his wife can read and write.  Aggie has one child living.
