I am so saddened to hear this news. Turk worked out at our gym for many years back in the day in Woodstock. All of us from THE GYM send our deepest heartfelt condolences to Turk's family. We loved him like family and enjoyed so much his stories and antics. Fly high our beautiful brother and soar with the angels. You will be missed by many.

Turk was always such a kind guy and hard worker. Curtis and I worked with him at Automotive and Curtis played ball with him. So sorry to hear and praying for his family. Thank you for your dedication to the volunteer service to help others in need. RIP

Turk was a patient of mine many years ago when I worked at Cedar Ridge Family Physicians. A dear sweet man who towered over my barely 5 ft height and we´d joke about it. Always pleasant. Until we meet again, "Fair Winds and Following Seas."
