Turner and Reid were such a delightful couple! I had the honor of shopping for them a few times during Covid. Both very thankful, always. cheerful and spoke of their love for their children. Praying sweet memories hold you all close during this time.
I had the pleasure of working with and become friends with Turner. As Trustee of Mackenzie Village, Turner and I dealt with a flooding problem caused by Gravois Creek which ran behind the Village residences. He worked very hard for the citizens of the Village, and gave time and effort th help me get elected as state representative for Affton.
