He was instrumental in setting up the Fylde Group L.O.I. and was in charge for many years including running classes for D.C.s and A.D.C.s during the Christmas periods.

It never mattered to him which degree it was, if a brother needed help or assistance in compiling an important speech or advice on ritual, Peter was always there. He will be sadly missed by many friends on the Fylde coast.

The funeral of V.W.Bro.Gordon Lockett took place at St.John's Church, Widnes on Tuesday 15th July 2008 followed by committal at Widnes Crematorium.

Gordon served 3 Provincial Grand Masters as Treasurer, from 1989 to 1994 and then undertook the Treasureship of our Mark Charities, culminating in our most successful 2000 Festival. This resulted in his 3rd promotion by Grand Lodge to the very high rank of P.G.M.O. He was Master of Adoniram Lodge and in December 2001 he celebrated 50 years of Mark Masonry. He rarely missed a meeting of the lodge usually attending with his good friend Bernard Gregory. He was a Grand Officer in the Craft, PAGDC, and he was active in running the Masonic Hall for a long time.

The R.W. Provincial Grand Master Bro. Peter Connolly wishes to record on his own behalf, as well as his predecessors, his appreciation of the tremendous work V.W.Bro. Gordon fulfilled in the Province.
