Dr. Arthur Morris Turner

(former President, Ontario Division, Canadian Cancer Society)

In his 93rd year, after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife (of 64 years) Margaret Jane (nee Loucks), his sons Andrew (Janice) and John (Anita Sedgwick) and his grandchildren Emma, Adrian, James and Grant and his grand-dog Sandy. Pre-deceased by his sister Dorothy Holman (Rev. Leonard) and his brother, Hon. John M Turner (June). He enjoyed summers from the age of 3 on Clear Lake. A skilled and thoughtful physician, a dedicated Rotarian and an avid painter locally and at The Arts & Letters Club of Toronto, he was much loved by his family and many friends. He was a regular church-goer at St Paul’s and later St John’s but his on-call beeper was known to go off if the sermon went on too long. He always loved to tell or hear a good story and he won his share of weekly prizes in seniors’ golf at Peterborough Golf & Country Club up until last summer. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Comstock-Kaye Life Celebration Centre, 356 Rubidge Street, Peterborough, Ontario. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, December 19, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church, 99 Brock Street, Peterborough, Ontario. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or New Haven Learning Centre (for children and young adults with autism) or the charity of your choice, would be appreciated.
