Louis Turi

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lou Turi, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great- grandfather, who departed this world on October 12, 2026. Born on July 13, 1937, in Plainfield, New Jersey, Lou was the cherished son of Teresa and Luigi Turi. He leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and compassion that will be fondly remembered by all who had the honor of knowing him.

Lou spent his formative years in Plainfield, where he graduated from Plainfield High School in 1957. A natural athlete, he proudly won the NJ Varsity State Wrestling Championship as a junior, a testament to his strength and determination. He furthered his education at Indiana University, where he continued to nurture the qualities that would define his life.

In 1959, Lou married the love of his life and high school sweetheart Patricia Marchisin, with whom he shared 67 beautiful years. Together, they built a loving family, raising four wonderful children: Gina Intile, Richard Turi, Louis J. Turi, Michael Turi. His family was his pride and joy, and he delighted in the accomplishments and happiness of his 8 grandchildren: Michael Intile, Marissa Donofrio, Ashley Harchetts, Julianna Brandl, Rachael Block, Dustin Turi, Jaden Turi and Mila Turi. His heart was further filled with love also for his 14 great-grandchildren: James, Georgie, Michael, Christopher, Benny, Kynslee, Hallie, Leo, Vinny, Blair, Beau, Briggs, Boone and Brooks who brought endless smiles and laughter into his life.

Lou was a man of many talents and passions. An avid golfer, fisherman, and pool player. He most of all cherished spending time with his family. Throughout his life, Lou was known for his caring nature and unwavering strength. He was a pillar of support to those around him, offering guidance, love, and encouragement at every turn. His warm spirit and gentle heart left a lasting impression on everyone he met, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of calling him family or friend.

Lou is predeceased by his beloved parents, Teresa and Luigi Turi, and his siblings Joseph Turi, Loretta Turi, Elizabeth Bavosi, Louise Lizzi, Margaret Russell, Florence Braco, Lennard Turi, and Joe Turi. He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia Marchisin Turi his sister Theresa Robinovitz, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, all of whom will carry forward his legacy of love and kindness.

As we bid farewell to Lou, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. May he rest in eternal peace, forever in our hearts.
