Ronald Turbin

March 21st, 2026

I only knew Ron for a brief two years that we attended Roger’s School in 7th and 8th grade.

Ron was always kind and friendly and had a terrific sense of humor. That time was filled with golden memories that will live on.

May his soul be blessed with the bonds of eternal life.

Ronnie was truly one of the nicest and thoughtful people I have ever met.

He was always extremely approachable and always had a kind word, including many questions about how things were going. I always enjoyed seeing Ronnie at high school class reunions.

His kindness and thoughtfulness will be missed dearly.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. Having known him for over 56 years since our days at Sullivan High School.

Ron was a genuinely kind person, and one of the things that always amazed me was his incredible memory—he could recall the smallest details from years ago, bringing old stories and moments back to life with such clarity. I always looked forward to our lunches together, where we’d reminisce and laugh about the past.

I’m especially thankful that I had the chance to speak with him just a few days before he passed. That conversation will stay with me. Ron will be missed.

My husband Bill and I went to the same elementary and High School as Ronnie. Bill graduated with him and I was his lab partner in Chemistry. I attended their 50th High school reunion and was glad to see Ronnie there. He hadn’t changed and was the nice guy I remembered.
Lori, my Bill died about a year ago, from a brief illness, so I know the shock that your family must be going through. My heartfelt condolences. I hope you get some solace by remembering the happy times you had with Ron. Our guys had good lives that unfortunately were cut short and they will always be missed ❤️ They touched many lives.

I worked with Ron at Muller VW several years ago when he worked here. He was always so nice and a pleasure to be around. He would tell me stories about where he grew up and loved to talk about different memories of his childhood. He was such a nice man and I’m so sorry to hear of his passing.

My dear Ron, when I found out about your passing. My heart shattered into pieces. You were not just a great friend to me, but also a good adviser on things I wanted to hear. You were the light of Brookdale Senior Living! You were the reason the residents at Brookdale were always in a great mood. Because your chats were always funny. Thank you Ron, thank you for being there and being such a great friend and such a wonderful soul to all of us. You really impacted me in so many ways. And your little piece will always be kept with me Ron. We love you so much! And I’m going to miss you :,(

I worked at the salon in the senior community that Ron worked at and he always complimented me on how nice the residents looked after their hair was done.

Ron was such a nice person and kind. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

I was honored to work with Ron since August 2025 at a senior living facility.

Ron was kind, funny, compassionate and had a heart of gold.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing.

I am praying for his family’s comfort and this most difficult time. Ron gave us all a piece of him that we will never forget him

Ron was my best friend. I called Ron, “Mr. T” (Turbin). I’d ask him, “Mr. T, how you be?” He got a kick out of that. Ron even introduced me to a beautiful gal and now my lovely wife, Bonnie. Ron and I are worrywarts. We would share stories and Ron would often harp and obsess about things that bothered him. We would often commiserate together. But I found his voice had a calming effect on me. He was a remarkable friend with a truly good soul. My condolences to Lori, his family, friends and his furry friend, “Winter”. I will miss you Mr. T. May you rest in peace carefree my friend.

I knew Ron via my Sister In Law (Ron’s sister Eileen Alex). Ron was always honestly friendly and with a good word and a smile. Ron and Lori were always a pleasure to see at family gatherings. I was shocked at his sudden loss. Best wishes for Lori and the rest of his family.

Didn’t know you very well.
But I know that you were a kind and gentle soul.
I hope suffering was kept to a minimum
