Lockhart, Sr., Ronald W. – 85 of Stone Harbor, NJ passed away September 7, 2017. He was born in Van Buren, AR to the late William and Reba (formerly Hays) Lockhart. At age 16 he joined the US Marine Corps and did a tour of duty in Korea. Upon his return from Korea, he attended the University of Tulsa, where he earned a degree in Chemical Engineering. He worked in Baltimore, MD and Billings, MT in the oil industry. While in Montana, Ron felt a call to the ministry. He returned east to attend Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, PA. He was first ordained a Baptist and served several churches in that capacity. He eventually made the decision to become Episcopalian and was ordained to the priesthood by his beloved mentor and friend, The Right Reverend Robert L. DeWitt on October 18, 1966. Last October he celebrated fifty years of ordination. Father Ron Lockhart served churches in Chestnut Hill, Springfield, and Media, PA. In recent years, he was assisting priest and choir member at St. Mary's Church in Stone Harbor, NJ.

He earned a pilot's license and a boat captain's license. He enjoyed golf and fishing. He was a proficient decoy carver. His carvings grace the homes of many family and friends. By far, his greatest joy was his family. He loved spending time with Leah and Jack and was looking forward to the birth of his new grandson in October. Many lives were touched by Ron Lockhart. He was an intuitive, compassionate counselor. He was a devoted friend. He cared deeply for the marginalized and gave his time and energy to the betterment of their lives.

Ron is survived by his wife of 48 years, Sandra, son Ron, Jr., daughter-in-law Victoria and grandchildren Leah and Jackson.
