Tributes To Garth Turtle
Below are some of the statements shared across social media users’ timelines on the death of Turtle.
“Our friend Alexis MacDonald shared some sad news today.
The world lost another good man. My Dad’s best friend Garth Turtle, one of my favourite high school teachers/coaches, died yesterday. It was way too quick. It was only the year before that Garth and his wife Lynn helped us cope with losing Wally Macdonald. I hope Garth and Dad are somewhere together playing a round of golf. Condolences to Lynn Turtle and his two daughters who will grieve this painful loss forever and to Garth’s heartbroken friends and former students. Rest easy Mr. Turtle.
Mr. Turtle was always walking the halls of TOSH with a great big smile, and a kind word. He will be greatly missed by so many students, fellow teachers, and athletes alike.
Love, hugs, and good vibes to the Tutle family.”
