Richard Thomas Turner
September 27, 1920 ~ November 21, 2018
Resided in:
Arden, NC
Richard Thomas Turner, died November 21, 2018, after suffering a stroke. Until then, he was a vibrant, a still-well-toned tenor, intelligent and intellectual, 98 year old raconteur.
To his daughter, Tracey and his son, Tim, as we and he aged, he was a gift. We relied on one another, we were proud of one another, dinner guests were regaled by him. While his repertoire was vast, Irish jokes, with accent, were his favorite for years.
He will be missed by many.
