Harold Francis Lockwood was born on September 11, 1941, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to the late Fredrick and Lucille (nee: Hammer) Lockwood. He graduated from Beaver Dam High School, class of 1959. On October 17, 1959, he was united in marriage with Carol Kunkle at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Beaver Dam. Butch worked at Kraft Foods for 40 years and, in “retirement”, he worked for Banes Auto for 20 years. Butch was an avid Packer and badger fan. He also enjoyed NASCAR racing and he loved going out to the local dirt tracks and supporting the local drivers. He loved to watch his great grandsons race their motorcycles and other great grandchildren’s activities, as well. Butch was a regular at the twice-a-day coffee club at McDonalds and he will surely be missed by all of them. He was a member of St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Beaver Dam.
Survivors include his wife, Carol Lockwood of Beaver Dam; three children, Mark (Sandi) Lockwood, Jacqueline Lockwood, and Todd (Tani Miller) Lockwood; six grandchildren: Eric Lockwood, Brandon Lockwood, Bradley Banker, Hannah Lockwood, Emily Lockwood and Ashley Bergemann; eight great grandchildren, Grace, Elias, Brooks, Matyx, Koyer, Beckett, Parker, and Lily Mae; a brother, Michael (Melissa) Lockwood; brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Robert Sumnicht, Janet (Terry) Karst, Phyllis Marthaler, Cyndi (Andrew) Smazinski; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Harold was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Fredrick Lockwood, Jr., his parents-in-law, Myrtle Miller and George Kunkle; and three sisters-in-law, Judy Kunkle, Mavis Sumnicht and Dorene Quam; and two brothers-in-law, James Kunkle and James Marthaler.
If desired, memorials may be made in Harold F. Lockwood’s name to St. Katharine Drexel Parish or the American Heart Association.

Sincere condolences to all whose lives "Butch" touched. Harold and I went through St. Pat's and BDHS together. I hadn't seen Harold since high school, but I remember him well. He was an easy-going, very likable guy as a youth and, I have no doubt, lived his adult life in the same manner. I have only good memories of my childhood friend.

Auntie Carol and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know it is never easy and the “void” never refills. My only hope is that you all take comfort in knowing “our Angel” will always walk with us because he is a part of us #Family…
I love you, one and all. If you ever need anything at all, day or night, please don’t hesitate to call.
Love always, Chele

Carol & family, You have our deepest sympathy. Butch & I go back to "childhood" memories with stock car races. My dad, Butch's uncle both raced for Birkholz Brothers racing team and we spent many nights and days messing with stock cars. You both meant the world to us as friends and those things never change. Remember you will be in our prayers. Take care of yourself. Sharon

Carol and family, We were so saddened to hear about Butch's passing. He was such a jovial happy person when we would stop at my brother's place of business (I'm Butchy's sister). His smile and personality will certainly be missed. We offer you our sincere condolences and are thinking of you at this time.

For 20+ years you were my friend, co-worker, and as you would say, "silent partner": and I would say, I don't know how you could say "silent" in that phrase. But at the end of the day, I always knew you had my back and I thank you for that. I am so happy we were able to talk last week and share some laughs and bullshit, sadly I never dreamed it would be our last. You will truly be missed Buddy.
