He was a pilot, and in his younger years, owned a number of airplanes.
He settled in Holiday Island, Ark. After retiring, he became involved in politics, and was a member of the Coram Court, and was serving in his third, three-year term when he resigned to move to Tennessee with his new wife.
Mr. Turner served as an elder in the First Presbyterian Church in Selmer and the couple was active in the church.
He is survived by his wife, daughter and son-in-law, son and daughter-in-law, stepdaughter, 12 grandchildren; one great-grandson; seven step-grandchildren; two step-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a stepson, Tommy Curlin.
