He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Kathleen. His children Dr. Brian D. (Diane), Mrs. Heather D. Knoedler and Dr. Kevin D. (Monique), grandchild Jessica (Chris) and great grandchild Linden and grandchildren Alex, Noah, Rhyanna, Scott, Kerry and Derrick, all have loved and honoured you and have been proud to have you as their Dad & Grand-dad.

Dr. Turner was born in Calgary, Alberta on November 7, 1930. Then moved to Ladner in 1937 where he worked with his parents on their Dairy Farm, while going to U.B.C. Father deceased 1947, Mother in 1994. He graduated from UBC and entered the Chiropractic College in Toronto in 1953 for four years study. He and Kathleen married in 1954 and Brian his first son attended his father's graduation in 1957. He opened his Chiropractic office in the Klapstock Building on Second Avenue in October 1957. Second son Glenn Douglas, nine months old went home to his Heavenly Father in 1960.

My husband was a most sincere gentleman, ever such a caring, extremely dedicated and an excellent Dr. of Chiropractic to all his patients. He surely loved his work immensely. Marvelous sense of humour. Very pleased with and loved his children and grandchildren, and great grandchild, but wished them wisdom and independence. His two sons followed their Dad and became Chiropractors and he truly taught them well in this wonderful profession.

He was a very devoted, understanding and loving husband. A bit bossy at times. I will miss you dreadfully but I'll be coming in time! Of course Sandy will be lost without you also. You were tops with him!

He retired July 31st, 2010 after 53 years of wonderful Chiropractic service. He helped thousands from all over Canada to better health. He was given many recognitions from the Chiropractic College, and was a Charter member of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic Governors' Club. He contributed much to the College. He was extremely proud of his profession. He was a member of the Ancient Light Lodge #88 AF and AM BCR Ladner, B.C., also a member of Kamloops South Rotary Club for many years, and a recipient of the Paul Harris Award.

Our very sincere thanks to all the wonderful nursing care that was given to my husband while at the hospital. God Bless you all.
