William Turner Obituary
Pensacola -
William "Bill" Richard Turner, Jr. died unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
Born May 29, 1938, in Pensacola, Bill was a graduate of The University of the South, in Sewanee, TN. After retirement from banking, in 1988, Bill embraced his love of antiques and history by opening Turner Antiques Gallery which he faithfully operated until his death.
He is preceded in death by both his parents, William and Joyce and his brother, Charles.
Bill is survived by many cousins, friends, and neighbors who will most assuredly miss his wonderful wit and timeless knowledge.
A Celebration of Life Memorial will be held at a later date.
