Michael Thomas Turvey

I am deeply shocked at just receiving this news via Herne Hill Harriers as I was a fellow competitor of Mike from the 1950s when our schools competed in the Surrey Catholic schools. We were also both in the same team at Loughborough. Claudia, please accept Ann's and my condolences at this very sad news. He will be greatly missed by many in different spheres in which he excelled but most of all by me as we go back in time in track & field. RIP Mike.

He inspires my research into fascia. He was a genius. I wish I could have met him and thanked him for his teachings. I never met him but I do cry.

From East London to the top of the world as an athlete, scholar, teacher, advisor and as a human being for the love and kindness Michael showed to so many people. God Bless You Michael and I hope and pray that we meet again. Love to you forever, John Rickards
