Kieff R. Lockwood
Born in Carbondale, son of the late Kenneth and Alberta Schaffer Lockwood, he was a longtime member and trustee of the South Gibson United Methodist Church. He was a graduate of Waymart High School and Williamsport Technical School. He was a businessman his entire life. His ventures began at Westinghouse, but he was a self-employed building contractor for many years until he retired. In his retirement years, he traveled the United States extensively with his wife and dog Tigger, visiting their many friends. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and a mentor to many. His hobbies were many and varied, but his greatest joy was a good project. His family and friends will sadly miss him. He died with his family.
