TURNER: HAROLD EDWARD (TED)
Passed away suddenly on Friday, June 7, 2024.
Harold Edward Turner was born in Clinton, Ontario, on May 11, 1938, to Harold and Linnie (Nediger) Turner. He was raised in Goderich, Ontario, where he attended public and high school and later graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a B.Sc. in math and physics as well as a Ph.D. in atmospheric science. His working career was spent as a researcher and a research manager with the Toronto office of Environment Canada. He retired back to Goderich in 1994.
While studying at Western University, Ted met and married Judith Lillian Butler and they raised two sons, Scott (Richard) of Cannington and Eric (Joan) of Goderich. Ted is survived by his loving wife and sons, his sister Marilyn Turner and brother Brian Turner (Wendy), their children Peter, Christopher and William, as well as sister in law, Lynda (Tony) and their children Robert and Teresa as well as all of their families.
Ted was predeceased in 2022 by his much loved and special Scottie dog, Angus.
Ted had a special interest in community service. For over 18 years, he served as a Scout Leader in the Yellow Briar District (North Peel Region)where he eventually became Deputy Distict Commissioner and a Charter Member of the 16th Canadian Baden-Powell Guild. On returning to Goderich, Ted served two terms on the Town’s Environment Committee as well as on several committees of North Street United Church.
Exploring an interest in local history, Ted served as a volunteer researcher for the Huron County Museum for over 28 years. He was also a member of the Executive Council of the Huron County Historical Society and also found the time to write two books on local history. As his contribution to the Goderich Collegiate All Years Reunion in 2000, Ted served as a member of the school’s Alumni Foundation and organized a related display of artifacts at the Huron County Museum.
Among Ted’s greatest joys was his active involvement with local community bands, primarily playing the trumpet. Starting as a teenager in 1952 , he played with the Goderich Bluewater Band, then with the Western University Marching and Concert Bands, and the Caledon Concert Band. On his retirement to Goderich, he became a member of the Goderich Laketown Band, the Blyth Festival Orchestra, the Lighthouse Swing Band, the Kincardine Brass Band, and perhaps his favorite, the Goderich Foghorns which gave him the chance to play in Toronto’s Roy Thompson Hall.
At Ted’s request, cremation has taken place. A private family interment will take place at a later date at Maitland Cemetery, Goderich.
As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to Lakeshore United Church or any charity that benefits pet rescue efforts, in memory of Ted would be greatly appreciated.
Arrangements entrusted to Falconer Funeral Homes – Bluewater Chapel, Goderich.
