This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Justin Locke, 67, born in 1955 and passed away December 3rd, 2022. We will remember him forever.
I met Justin the summer of 1971 when we were students at the BU Tanglewood Institute. He was the most uniquely talented person I ever met, including frequently being the score reader for many Boston Pops TV shows, as well as making and selling deli sandwich to his fellow students at Tanglewood in 1971! Sending heartfelt condolences to Jessica and his entire family.
I am so bereft. I met Justin at a party in Charlestown in 1997. He became my lifeline. I had no idea how my life would change that night I met him. I cannot imagine a future without him. He was the sagest person I ever knew. I'm too upset to write any more right now. Justin, you were the salt of the earth. Please remember me.
Justin was a member of the Young Artists Orchestra at Tanglewood in 1971; he played contrabass, and I played the viola. I vividly remember his sense of humor. We took different paths in life after Tanglewood; I never saw him again and just learned about his passing. However, I see from his obituary that he made good use of that sense of humor in his creative work, and that's good to know.
