It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the recent passing of one of our members, friend and colleague, Harold W. “Bud” Turntine. Bud who was an active member of the IAO and participated often in the educational programs sharing his knowledge with his fellow ocularists. Bud loved being an advocate for his patients and enjoyed many hobbies and pursuits including antiquing, traveling, visiting art galleries, trying new restaurants, singing in his church choir with his wife of 41 years, Tami, and spending time with his beloved family.
Bud is survived by his wife, Tami, daughter Jourdan (Michael) Holmes, Samuel (Michaela) Turntine, grandchildren Emma & Maxwell Homes, Maeve Turntine, parents Harold B. and Itha Jean Turntine, siblings Jan (Ron) Ash, Jeanette (Jim) Cummings, Debra Starr and many nieces and nephews.
Bud will be greatly missed by family, friends, colleagues and patients alike. His infectious sense of humor, compassion and twinkle in his eyes will live on in our memories.
