Martin G. Lockley was a Welsh
paleontologist. He was educated
in the UK where he obtained degrees
and post-doc experience in Geology
in the 1970s. Since 1980 he had been
a professor at the University of CO at
Denver and was later Prof Emeritus.

I weep; my heart aches; my mind
wanders down memory lane . . .
I first met Martin upon my arrival
to the US. He was a close friend of
my father and would make a point
of dining with my parents when he
came to town.
For me, it was love at first sight!
What a truly lovely man. From
that point we were granted a dozen
years of those joys and sorrows
gifted along with marital bliss. And
speaking of gifts, his children will
ever and always reside in my heart.
Lockley, as a scientist, professor,
world leading expert in dinosaur
tracks, has touched the lives of
many fellow professionals and
a myriad of doctoral students. He
leaves nigh onto 50 books translated
into at least 16 languages that will
continue to serve his calling.
I can't say, "Rest in Peace." Rather,
I hope he has an afterlife full of
phenomenal adventures and untold
discoveries!
God, I sooooo miss him . . .
