VALE - HERBERT TURNER (1945 - 2007)
It is with great regret and sadness that I inform the WRFL Community of the passing of Herb Turner, a WRFL Life Member.
Herb started his journey with the Footscray District League through the St Bernard's Junior Football Club. He was appointed as a St Bernard's delegate to the League's Committee of Management. Subsequently, Herb was elected to the WRFL Executive and later served as the WRFL Vice-President. He was appointed as the inaugural Chairman of the WRFL Junior Board in 1996 and held that position until 2004.
Herb was awarded Life Membership of the WRFL in 2003 for his commitment and service to the WRFL over a significant period.
For the past 3 years, Herb has served as a WRFL Tribunal Member.
Herb's contribution to community football over many years has been outstanding.
He was a tireless worker for the WRFL, particular with the Junior Competition.
On behalf of the WRFL, I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the Turner family.
The family has asked me to circulate the following information.
