Following his navy career, he moved to Spokane, Wash. He would eventually settle in Post Falls, Idaho, where he worked as a skilled machinist. At the time of his death, he was working for Tapmatic Inc. He enjoyed his job and the people he worked with.  

Bob loved his family and he made sure they were taken care of. He was a great brother, uncle, great uncle and dad to his dog, Lula, and friend. Throughout his life, Bob enjoyed restoring cars and home improvement projects, doing triathlons, working out, and being with his family. He loved his dog, Lula, and spoiled her as much as if she were his child. In his spare time, he was remodeling a home on a property in north Spokane where he was planning to retire.

He had multiple nieces and nephews who loved him very much. His dad, Charles Turner, and his nephew, Connor Stegeman, preceded his death.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate to SCN8A in memory of Bob.  

Bob will be missed by all, especially his sarcastic comments and orneriness.
