Robert Turner Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on February 19, 1948, he was the beloved son of Reginald and Mildred (Savage) Turner. Robert married Regina Showalters on April 20, 1985, and she preceded him in death.
Robert was an Army veteran, having bravely and proudly served his country in Vietnam. He was a member of the Loogootee American Legion Post 120, the VFW, and the Disabled Veterans of America Association. An avid car fanatic, Robert started working on automobiles as a youth. That passion continued throughout his life to include drag racing. After college, Robert worked for the US government for 46 ½ years as a heavy equipment mechanic at Navel Ordinance and NSWC Crane. He also enjoyed model cars. Spending time with his grandchildren and gardening brought joy to his life.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Regina, and one nephew, Reginald Hornback.
Robert is lovingly remembered by two children: Molly (Benjamin) Turner-King and Robert "Robbie" Turner; 2 stepsons; grandchildren: Connor and Riley King, as well as 6 step-grandchildren; two brothers: George (Debbie) and Ricky Turner; one sister, Gerrie (Rogers) Cheatham; and life-long dear friends, Mike & Shirley Bright.
