Greg,
We are sorry to hear about your father. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We had many good years talking to Turk and your mom at Grandys, and other local coffee shops. We will never forget his humor.

Uncle Turk,
I will always remember you laughing, joking, and dancing. Growing up I also remember the good times and advice given as a teen girl. I know you are now in heaven with Mom, your sister (Jeanette) dancing(the jitterbug) and having a good time. With fondest memories...Your niece
