Mr. Turner was a great supporter of the athletic department (Basketball). I remember the many conversation I had with Mr. Turner while I was a student and after I graduated. Mr. Turner was a regular fixture at the basketball games and was very proud of the basketball program. Mr. Turner will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace my fellow 49'er.
