Da’s Obituary

April 13th, 2005 by Scott Kirwin

This morning I grabbed a copy of the local newspaper while fueling up on coffee at the local Dunkin Donuts. I opened it up to the obituaries and found this:

VERNON TURNER

Age 80, died Thursday, April 7, 2005.
Mr. Turner was a retired DuPont chemist, a retired commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and a WWII veteran.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Janet A. Turner; his children Linda, Lisa and John; and his beloved grandchildren.

I showed it to The Kid as he waited for the donut he had ordered. He read it, slid his arm around my waist and leaned his head against my side.
