Mick Turner, 72, has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.
Some lives speak quietly; his is one such story.
Born in 1947, Mick began a life that would touch many along the way.
Mick held deeply to the Lutheran faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Faith is a quiet companion through a long life. Mick's walked beside him.
