I am saddened to hear of the passing of fellow schoolmate. Timmy was a very sweet person and intelligent young man back then, as well as, an outstanding athlete. Although he was a year older than I, he graduated with my brother's from H-R Highschool in 1981. The entire Turkvant family will forever be in my heart. May God bless you all. RIP Timmy❤
