James L. Turvene

Hey Aunt Shirley, and everyone...I'm not sure what to say, but know that I prayed for you a lot through the situation, and am sorry I couldn't be there during this hard time.

To Shirley, Cindy, Cathy, and Mark: My heart goes out to you at this time of losing your father, husband. He is now in the hands of God and will be blessed and loved as he will comfort and love you from heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless. Teresa Hunter

Jim
You will be dearly missed by Wendy, and I. You always brightend our day when you came in our store. Visiting your home was always a pleasure as well. God bless your loved ones during this time of great loss.

Jim and I rode to work together the cold winter of 76 and 77. We were working construction on the new Xenia High School. I was a newlywed and Jim had a lot of good advice for me. Sorry to read of his passing.

Shirley and family: Sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Cindy, Mark, Cathy and Shirley: I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you today.

I had the privilege of teaching with Jim for over 20 years. We endured getting our masters together and taught PE together. He was always an inspiration to his students and his colleagues. I will cherish our talks we had, especially seeing and talking to him last month. May God be with him. My sympathies go out to Shirley and his family.

I never met Mr. Turvene but as an avid basketball fan, I did watch him coach. I know Mark Turvene and if, his Dad, Jim, was any thing like Mark, he had to have been a great man. Mark and Stephanie, you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim Turvene was an exceptional man. Leading by example, he influenced many lives. I'm proud and honored to have been a student and sports participant at Chaminade during his tenure. He will be missed by many, but his legacy will live on in the lives he has touched. My condolences to the family.
