I was shocked to hear of Dr. Turgeon's passing. He delivered my seven children and influenced me to eventually work at the Westbook Community Hospital. I have always had a great respect for him and could always depend on his knowledge in the medical field. We also had a bond from Mrs. Guimond and Joan. Joan was my best friend and because the family were best of friends I became a friend also. I am very sure that he will be greatly missed but leaves a legacy of a beautiful family.

Everybody in Frenchtown was blessed to have Dr. Turgeon as their family doctor. He worked tirelesly to make sure we all stayed healthy and alive. As a childhood friend of Danny,Rene and Allan, and surviving the acorn and chestnut wars on Brown St everybody had the highest regards for your dad and that for sure will never change for anybody that ever knew him.My heartfelt sympathies to the family.

Our heartfelt sympathies to the whole family.... I'll always remember him as the great doctor who delivered my son in 1968 in Westbrook. He was a kind man. This son passed away this year so Dr Turgeon's death touched us even more when noticed it in our local paper.

Dear Aunt Pauline, Dan, Rene, Allan, Jim and John,
We were blessed to have Uncle Ralph in our lives, as you were all blessed with having him as your husband and dad. As much as I know he will be missed, he left many memories fro all. One I remember is he always had to deliver a baby! Think of how many lives he touch in that very special way., Love LuAnne and Pat Ryan

Dear Aunt Pauline and Cousins,
I was so very saddened when Dad called with the news about Uncle Ralph passing. As so often happens, my mind was filled with so many memories of being at your home "on the hill" in Westbrook. Aunt Pauline, my Mom always marvelled at how you could put a lunch together with no notice and Uncle Ralph was always there for whatever ailed us. I cherish the memories you made for us.
