It is with no little sadness that I report the passing of Roger Lockie, who was a founding faculty member of Temple City High School and a long-time teacher, principally of music and director of the TCHS choral program. Lockie also served as a baseball coach at the school for several seasons.

Lockie was known as a guiding force in the reorganization of the San Gabriel Civic Auditorium, along with several of his former students.

He is survived by his wife Barbara, daughter Becky Lockie French, twin sons Roger & Randy Lockie. Preceded in death by one grandson. Other grandchildren include Lauren French Eden, Katie French, Jessica Parker and others (to be updated as we receive information).

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00pm on January 26 at First Baptist Church in Temple City. The community is invited.
