David and Family:
It was with great sadness that we learned of your father's passing.

Please remember all the good times, and although he may be gone he will always live on in your memories.

God Bless you and your family.

My deepest expression of love and friendship go to the Turner family in this time of grief. I'll always remember Mr. Turner's sincere and kind words. My most interesting memory as a kid growing up with his son David is going into his garage and seeing hundreds of golf balls in buckets...year after year. He loved the golf course and most of all, Mr. Turner loved and cherished his family.
