by John Turner Obituary, Death – It was with a great deal of sorrow that we got the news that John Turner, a recent crew member here at Holyhead RNLI, had unexpectedly passed away at home on Monday. John’s passing came as a complete shock to all of us. John Turner had only just joined our group after becoming a member of our organization. John worked on the shore crew for a while, and it was during this time that he gained all of the necessary certifications to become a fully qualified tractor driver.
During this period, John also worked on the shore crew. He took part in the training sessions, assisted with bringing in our all-weather lifeboat, assisted with launching and retrieving our inshore lifeboat, and assisted with bringing in our all-weather lifeboat. In addition to that, he was an asset in the process of bringing our all-weather lifeboat ashore. He was a devoted family man who enjoyed spending time with his wife Elaine and their dog Cookie on regular walks. During these walks, he would frequently pause to strike up conversations with whoever he happened to meet along the way. He was a man who took great pride in his family and in the time he spent with them. Cookie was the only child that ever existed in her family.
While John was working for us, he demonstrated a strong commitment to the team and made a number of contributions that were really helpful. During this time, we reaped the benefits of his efforts. Additionally, he provided additional contributions during that period that were of great use. Our thoughts and prayers are with Elaine, their daughter Nicki, and all of his other relatives and friends in the larger family and community during this trying time.
Our condolences go out to you all. Additionally, he is seen carrying on a conversation with the other members of the crew. The final photograph is one that John captured of our ALB coming in from a yell in 2018, and John himself snapped the photograph. John used a camera to catch this special moment.
