Donald Neron Turner

Surrounded by his loving family, Don passed away peacefully in Calgary, Alberta on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Ottawa to his late parents, Frank and Agnes Turner, Don was a child full of life and humour, which he continued to exhibit throughout his life. He was a hardworking, energetic and compassionate man who married the love of his life, Hilary in 1962. They were blessed with three children. In the early ‘80s, Don founded Turnmore Sanitation Inc. with his partner Dennis Morey, where he established himself as a fair and honest businessman. He was a member of the Masonic Order, gave many volunteer hours to the Calgary Stampede and enjoyed lawn bowling in Calgary and his second home in Rancho Mirage, California. Don leaves behind to mourn his wife of 56 years, Hilary; their children Robyn (Larry), Christopher (Colette) and Mark (Ann); nine grandchildren: Travis, Richard, Daniel, Caitlin, Alexia, Thomas, Dominique, Ereka and Riley; his sister Helen McCredie and his brother Richard (Mary Jane).
