Bob Turman's story begins much as any farm boy's does, picking cotton, milking cows, building a laboratory in the garage... Yes, he grew up on the farm and he was proud of it and that is where his dreams began as well as his love of science. His dreams led to a PhD in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin, research at the University of Oslo Norway, Air Force career, lightning research, work with NASA, Physics instructor at the Air Force Academy, nuclear powered rocket engines and pulsed power and laser research for Sandia Labs. This man, this scientist, this farm boy from Texas did a lot for his country but was also devoted to his family and friends. He was active in his Church, in his community and he loved his family very much. A few that have the honor and privilege to be a part of his life are his wife Carol, Brent and Dawna, Brandi and Gary, Christopher and Ashley, Savannah, Micah, Denali, Marissa, Sherrie and Chuck, Stan, Rita and Ron. To say that he had a positive affect on our lives would be an understatement. We will miss him. Memorial service will be Sunday, December 5, 2010, 2:00 p.m., at Central United Methodist Church, 201 University Blvd NE. Interment will be Monday, December 20, 2010, 11:30 a.m., at the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Central United Methodist Church TV Ministry.
