Paul Turner

Paul, who was 34, drowned in the river behind the ice rink on January 31st. This brought to an end a life characterized by a cheerful waywardness. Paul, who had lived with his parents, Roger and Irene, in Cardigan Street, was a personable young man and in his youth was very popular. But ultimately he was overcome by forces beyond his control and succumbed to a rather nomadic existence. A few years ago, under the patient guidance of Father Dominic at the Oratory, he was baptized there. This is also where his funeral took place, attended by many of his friends. Our sympathies to his parents.
