  11. Will miss the billboards with that smile! I have never forgotten the support you both gave us when we suffered the loss of my sister, then her daughter a few years later.

    May the love and kindness be returned to you 100 x over as you travel this new journey.
    Gods Blessings.

  12. Craig sold our first home in 2004 and then helped Ron sell one in 2015. Craig was one of a kind. I will always remember something he said when we bought our home in 2004. Wise man, glad to have known him.

  22. Our deepest sympathy to the Loeck family. Craig was a great realtor and friend that we will remember forever. During the late 1970’s the interest rate was so high that it was nearly impossible to buy a home, but Craig helped made our dream come true! God bless him.

  23. Our thoughts and prayers to the Locke Family. It seems like yesterday we were watching our kids play bass in orchestra, helping us sell a house or talking about his passion for cars. He was the kind of person you could never forget because of his positive outlook. He was the consummate professional that will be sorely missed and always remembered.

  26. In 1994 I was the winner of the “Fantasy Train Ride” essay contest at Holmes Elementary School and was awarded a Lionel Train set from Mr. Loeck. To this day, I still set up the train underneath my Christmas tree…or rather my children set it up and play with it. The writing contest, sponsored by Mr. Loeck, helped show me that I could be successful in school and beyond. I have since earned an Associates Degree, two Bachelors degrees, two Masters degrees, and a Doctorate degree. Currently, I am in my 18th year as a high school teacher.

    I was grateful to have been able to share my achievements with Mr. Loeck back in 2016 after earning my doctorate and he reciprocated with great wisdom, “…never forget that you and God get credit for your rich, full, successful life.”

    One never fully sees (or hears) the long lasting impact they make on others. Although I was saddened to come across Mr. Loeck’s obituary the other day, his impact lives on.
