Russell was so very special! I learned so much by getting to know him and having the PRIVILEGE of working with him. He was such a diligent worker who never gave up, even when faced with the most frustrating tasks! His warmth and caring just radiated from his person. Russ and Evie together made an unbeatable team, and taught me what partnership in a marriage should be all about.
Heartfelt sympathies to Evie, and his daughters, Marcia and Sandy, and to his extended family. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Kassy Kleymann
I well remember Russ’ engaging
personality and disarming
smile which immediately put
me at ease in his presence.
I was not fortunate to be
able to socialize with him,
but If I could chose a
friend or neighbor in my
lifetime I would hope that
he would be just like Russ
Turner. My wife, Elaine,
and I are saddened by his
recent death , but knowing
that we will one day meet
againe brings me great joy
and peace. Our sincere
condolensces to all of the
Turner family. And to you,
Evelyn, Sandy and Marsha,
may the peace of the Lord be
with you always.
May God comfort you in your
time of sadness.
David Harold and Elaine
Sinner.
With our deepest sympathy to the Turner family. Please know that you are in our thoughts.
Faculty and Staff.
Our prayers and love are with Russ and all of the family.
