Turner was a long-time employee at Wade’s Department store and the Corner Store, where he helped generations of people find the right style and fit of clothing, his daughter, Mary Francis Harmon, said. “He never forgot their size, he never forgot what heir favorite color was or what style they wanted.”
But more than that, he was known for teaching Sunday school classes, both at First Baptist Church of Sevierville and on the International Sunday School Lesson on a weekly radio program. He also served on the Sevierville Water Board for many years.
