Mr. Turner was my Physics teacher at WHS in 1964-65. He was a popular and effective teacher to many of us then. He was in high demand as a class advisor, and for good reason. No teacher was more dedicated to helping and motivating students. I was very lucky to meet him again from time to time, most recently in September at Governor's Center, entirely by chance.

His enthusiasm and quest for knowledge in the classroom was contageous and I am forever grateful that this attitude stuck with me throughout my professional career as an engineer.

Dear friend Patricia: You know you are in my thoughts. This will be a difficult few days for you for many reasons, but if nothing else, be at peace for the way you have treated your Dad over his lifetime.

Dear Pat,
I was saddened to hear about the death of your dad.One only heard wonderful things about him and his dedication to education. You have been such a devoted daughter to both your mother and dad over the years. Selflessly juggling your job and spending hours with them everyday, most recently with your dad.
Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers today and in the days to come.
Love, Susan
