It is with a heavy heart and my deepest sympathy that we belatedly learn of the passing of another of our Distinguished Veterans and a Valued Comrade. In a letter to George Hudicka from Mrs Jane Wells we learned that her Father, Mr. John L. Turner, A Btry, 155th Abn AA passed away on 5 March 2009. Early this afternoon I was able to contact Mrs. Wells to obtain the essential information for this message.
Following his service in World War II Mr Turner was trained as a Mechanic. He was employed as a Mechanic working on Farm Equipment and Heavy Construction Equipment for over 40 years. During his working years and following his Retirement he enjoyed Camping and Fishing with his Family prior to his Wife’s death in 1982. The cause of death was Natural Causes resulting from a fall in his Apartment at the age of 92.
Unfortunately due to the time delay the Guest Book and Obituary have been archived. A very short Summary is as follows :
Turner, John – John L. Turner, 92, of Chesterfield, Mo., died at 0709 on
Thursday, March 5, 2009, at Brook View Nursing Home in Maryland Heights, Mo.
Mr. Turner is survived by one Son, two Daughters, six Grandchildren and eight Great Grandchildren. Correspondence and messages of Condolence may be addressed to the Turner Family as follows :
Mrs. Jane Wells
529 Parkland Place Dr.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Turner Family.
Sincerely,
