Robert "Bob" Turpin

 a message from Scott Turpin  saturpin12@gmail.com



For those that remember us, my Dad Robert (Bob) Turpin passed away Monday, February 22nd.  It has been a long time since we were active regulars but I wanted to get the word out for those we flew with and or knew about his passing and what the funeral arrangements will be.  Unfortunately, these types of events are what usually bridges the gaps in time as the years pass by but we had a lot of fun back then and it would be great to use this occasion to catch up.  As a testament to his building ability, I plan to have a GeeBee Sportster and my Phoenix 8 pattern plane to honor him and his incredible ability to "ad lib" when the plans were less than perfect and his crazy ability to lay down an awesome paint job.  Both planes are now 35 plus years old and have weathered the years pretty well.

Funeral arrangements are the following:
Elton Black & Sons
1233 Union Lake Road
White Lake, MI 48386
248.363.7135
Date: 3/6/21
Time: 11-2 (visitation) >> 2pm (service)

Sincerely,

Scott(Scotty) Turpin
