Al Turner, founding member of EAA1073 and very good friend to many of us as you know has passed. JoAnn, his wife, was right by his side as a family member for all those years too and has given me permission to host a celebration of life for him after our next pancake breakfast on June 9th.
For all of you who knew Al you know he always greeted everyone with a smile and good attitude. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend our salute to our Old Sarge...Al Turner. JoAnn and the rest of our usual crew will set the place up to celebrate Al and give anyone a few minutes to come up to the microphone and tell us your life and times around Al Turner.
This will take place just after the pancake breakfast June 9th, which is 10:00 AM at our EAA hangar.
I hope anyone who knew him will pass this along to anyone they know who knew him so they will attend too.
