David Turner, of Hamilton, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 26, 2022. It had been a long journey home since suffering a massive stroke in 2019.  He was the son of Earl and Iona Turner of Hamilton, who preceded him in death.

David married Emma Jean Allen in 1960 and they were married until her death in 2015.  He was a devoted father, grandfather, and great grandfather attending as many ball games and school functions that his schedule allowed, he was the best cheerleader!
