William Morris Turner, 83, of Elgin, passed away, surrounded by his loving family, Tuesday morning, November 24, 2020.  William was born April 3, 1937 to  Euell and Ruby Ola Turner in Elgin, Texas. His grandmother nick-named him “sugar man,” so if you were a childhood friend that’s probably how you remember him. He attended school at the Pleasant Grove Community and worked on his parent’s farm until joining the United States Navy in 1955 and was stationed in California, China, and Japan.  William served honorably aboard the USS Los Angeles 135, as a helicopter-mechanic, mail courier, and search-rescue team member.
