We didn't know that would be our last time speaking with him. He always had a smile and a joke for Bud. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Continued prayers and so much love to you, Bud and Shirley Hall

Coach Turk was the Assistant Principal my 7th and 8th grade year at Etowah Middle then several years later I had the pleasure in officiating high school basketball with him. He was fair and stern with everyone.....love ya Coach!!!
I was so saddened to hear that Coach Turk passed away. He was a great coach and teacher. I remember how fair he was to all of the students and how he molded the minds of all of us. I'm so grateful that I had him as a coach and Teacher and friend. I ask that God will wrap his loving arms around the family and comfort them in this time of need. Tom Hayes.
To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; not pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever. For more encouraging information from the bible. Please visit jw.org and view the video "What is the Condition of the Dead?"
