Heather Locklear Mourns the Death of ‘Brilliant’ Dad Bill


'Melrose Place' star Heather Locklear is mourning the death of her father, William Robert Locklear, who died on June 1

An obituary published by the Ventura County Star in California on June 7 says Bill passed away “peacefully” and is survived by his wife of 68 years, Diane, his four children — including Locklear — six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. According to his obituary, Bill, who was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, was inspired to follow in the footsteps of his father, Harper, and two older brothers, who all served in World War II. He worked at the University of California, Los Angeles for over 30 years, holding positions ranging from assistant dean of foreign affairs to acting director of the placement and career planning center in the 1990s.
