October 5, 1938 - August 1, 2015
Bobby Ray Turney, age 76 of Harrison, passed from this life to eternal life on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at Cox Medical Center in Branson, Missouri. He was born October 5, 1938 in Everton, Arkansas to Ray and Zella (Stovall) Turney.
Bob was a member of St Paul's United Methodist Church. After spending his school years in Alpena, he served in the United States Air Force and returned to Harrison from Madrid, Spain with his wife Petra in 1961. They celebrated 54 years together. Before his retirement, he worked for the United States Postal Service for 34 years. He was a member of the American Legion. He had the ability to make anyone laugh with his jokes. His wry sense of humor and caring nature will be forever missed by his family and many friends. We will always love and miss him.

Dear Petra and Jennifer:
We are so sorry for your loss. Bobby was always so friendly when we'd walk by your home for so many years (and Hannah was just a little girl).
He's with Jesus, and we hope that brings you peace and comfort. Please know we care.
Petra, we are so sorry for your loss. Bob will be greatly missed by so many people but greatly missed in our church, St. Paul's United Methodist where he was one of our charter members as were his parents. He was always very friendly and compassionate to all. Our prayers are with you, Petra, and all of your family in the days to come and God will be your strength!
David and Karen
We are so sorry, Petra. Bobby was such a wonderful man. We will all miss him. We will keep you in our prayers.
Bobby Ray was a special cousin and it was always a pleasure to visit and tell stories when we had the opportunities. These opportunities covered over 70 years.
Now heaven has another good razorback.
May God richly bless all the Turney family and give you comfort and peace.
I am so very sorry Michelle. My prayers are with you and your family. Love, Teckla
Very sorry for your loss.
