Dear Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that the Turner brothers share this news. On Thursday, April 25, 2013, our father, John F. Turner, passed from this world after a nearly 11-year battle with extreme colon cancer. He was, and is, our hero. He lived every day with complete humility, integrity, gratitude, and deep faith for whatever life had in store. He and our mom, Peggy (grandmother), spent 52 years with unconditional love and appreciation for each other, their family, their friends, and their community. He taught us that life is a journey, and he epitomized the celebration of that journey. We will all miss him deeply.

Services are being arranged by Gately Funeral Home, Melrose, Massachusetts.
