Murray Fenton Turnbull,

He will be fondly remembered by his wife of 56 years, Aileen and by his 5 children and eight grandchildren; Lynn, Gerald and James Gaw; Shiona, Graham, Jennifer and Heather Purves; David Turnbull; Lesley, Laszlo, Christine, Hailey and Andrew Bajzar; Sharon, Matthew and Taylor Turnbull and by his 3 sisters, Rhoda, Joyce and Sandra.

Murray was a story teller. He had a gift and could fill any tale with amazing details, humour and lively characters. He enjoyed his many fishing trips, first with his friends, then later with his son, son in law and their friends, travelling to Northern Quebec, the French River and the Bay of Quinte, always resulting in new, exciting stories to tell. He was a valued fishing companion, rising early to make breakfast for all of the slow movers. He was an avid golfer starting in his young days in Scotland and continued playing throughout his life. He even took a part time job in retirement with Club Links to maximize his time on the course. Murray had a passion for food and wine and always enjoyed a hearty meal with family and friends. Sunday dinners at the Turnbull house were usually an event. Murray was loyal, hard working and trustworthy. In his no fuss way he was a man of integrity and honour. Traits his children feel lucky to have learned from him. To his family and friends it was a privilege and pleasure to have known him. He will be deeply missed.
