Gerald Turley Obituary

My first and Only LOVE.....

TO THE TURLEY FAMILY

My deepest regrets go out to you, may God comfort you for the time to come. I just recently came to know Greg and spent several hours on the phone with him. He was a joy to talk to and so very helpful. I will miss our talks.

Mark Stowell Aiken, South Carolina

I was sad to hear that Greg had passed away. He was truely a man that you could trust and depend on. There has been several occassions growing up as a young man, where Greg was there for me. He was always willing to help someone, and would never ask for anything in return. My thoughts go out to his family.

My thoughts to the Turley family. I had known Greg for many years as we were both in the law enforcement community. Rest in peace my friend.

After sharing over 1500, 2 hour lunches, your laughs and humor will always be with us. Pat, Tim, and I never thought almost 10 years ago that this time would still be "the best part of the day." Miss ya buddy.

I am truly saddened by the loss of Greg. I worked very closely with Greg on the Charleston County Police Department many years ago. Our careers grew together. Greg was a "stand-up guy", one you could depend on anytime day or night. This world is a lesser place without Greg. I know he had a tremendous positive impact on many lives.

I will miss Greg more than anything... he taught me so much about life and myself! He was the dad i never had and the bond we had was deeper than any i've ever known! My heart goes out to all the family and know that i love yall just as much.

Gregg was a good freind that helped me through a tough time in my life. He gave me strength and perspective. He had a positive impact on many people. What a guy.

Dear Family, Our deepest sympathies.As a policeman's daughter who grew up in the police station,I'm truly sorry to hear of Greg's passing.Though its been many years,he always had a smile and words of comfort and safety for me.May God be with you.

Ivey and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

What a shock. He was not only a friend but also a business associate.We always debated about who was the oldest and still best looking. He supported my business for the past 22 years.
Our hearts and deepest sympathies are with his family.
We will greatly miss him.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY. I WILL TRUELY MISS SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN AS GREG TURLEY. MY HEART AND PRAYERS IS WITH YOU. DETERIA CHARLES, FLORENCE COUNTY MAGISTRATE OFFICE CLERK

I was deeply saddened to learn of Gregs passing. He was one of the first police officers I met when I first moved to Charleston in 1975 to work as a Public Defender. We had many cases together, and I always admired his professionalism and compassion. We were on opposing sides for all those years, but I still considered him as a friend and a dedicated public servant. His loss will be felt for a long time.

Ivey, Bill and I were so shocked and saddened to learn of Greg's passing. Our hearts are broken for you and your family. Please know you are in our prayers daily that God will bring you comfort and strength in the coming days.

~With love from Bill & Shelley Birnie

Ivey, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May your memories and God's love bring you peace and comfort that only He can give. Bunny and Sharon Sneed

I know Greg will be missed by all...he was a gentle soul and one of the "Good Guys"...I am honored to have known him and called him a friend.

Wishing you comfort in friendship and hope in prayer.

Dear Ivey, Mark and Vicki,
Greg was a great man! And my heart was broken to hear the news. He made my 40th birthday one I will never forget! His heart and compassion came from his loving family I know. He was a wonderful father image and loved and respected very much by Nate and Abbi. Nate said, hello and sends his love and prayers.(he lives in NC). Abbi was shocked also, and feels the same. He was like family to us.
We feel very blessed to have known him. And all of you too.
Much love,
Tina, Nate and Abbi

It was a shock to hear the news of Gregs passing.I worked with Greg in the early years of my career with the County Police Department,but carried alot of what I learned from him currently in my day to day law enforcement duties.Greg will be missed.

Greg was a wonderful friend and neighbor both to me and my son, Mark.
We will miss him. I just never thought
of his leaving us so young. He was a
mentor to my son. He was such a good
person.We are blessed to have known him. May God bless the family

Greg and I became friends as police officers then later after we retired became members of the” lunch club” and riding buddies on the motorcycle. Greg was a great guy and will be truly missed by many. RIP my good friend

I first met Gregg as a rookie officer in 1976 and I remember the "sumo brothers" from my years working East of the Cooper. Gregg was a fixture in the East Cooper community and he will be missed.

Greg and I went to high school together. We both served on CCPD during 1972. I will always remember the many times we went to Daytona and Myrtle Beach for bike week. Those were good times that I will never forget. Greg was a very good friend and a great person. I will miss him alot.
Greg made alot of friends during his short life span but he is with a better friend right now than he ever had on Earth. Rest in Peace Buddy.

TURLEY FAMILY,
WE WANT TO SAY HOW DEEPLY SORRY WE ARE TO HEAR ABOUT GREG'S PASSING. WE JUST TALKED W/HIM LAST WEEK ABOUT GETTING TOGETHER IN HILTON HEAD AND CATCHING UP ON OLD TIME'S WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR THE COUNTY. OUR THOUGHT'S & PRAYER'S GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY & FRIEND'S.

To Ivey, Allen, Vicki and Alexander,

We have just learned about Greg and our hearts and prayers are with you all. It is great to read the comments posted...hoping that it helps us all remember what a good officer and friend he was, as well as son and brother.

With sympathy and love,

I grew up two doors down from Greg and oh how envious us younger guys were of his tricked out Chevelle. Throughout the years, we have remained friends, our paths crossing both professionally and socially, the later years involving our passion for motorcycles. Greg was a good man, a good son, a good police officer and a good friend. Like most, I will miss him terribly.

I was shocked when I recieved the phone call Saturday of Greg's passing. I have known him for more than 25 years and we regularly ran into each other during the lunch hour in different restaurants in Mt. Pleasant. He was always with a group of his friends, and you could always hear his distinctive laugh over everyone, wherever he was. RIP Bud.

Ivy, So sorry to read of your son's passing. We think of you fondly when we are in Mt Pleasant and see the London Hair shop.

Dear Ivey,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

In 1975, I met this man when I was a rookie cop and assigned to work the East Cooper area. Boy was I lost. Over the next 25 years we became very good friends and partners, in Patrol, Narcotics/ Vice, and the Detective Office. We were both eventually promoted and began sharing supervisory responsibilities.We were dubbed the "sumu" brothers, because of our size. Since his retirement we have not visited each other very much, but we recently reconnected and were spending more time together. What a shock to hears this news. I will miss him immensly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Greg will forever live in our hearts. We will cherish the fond memories of the times we spent with him and the laughter we shared. God Bless you all.

Greg will be missed greatly by all of us. He will be in our hearts forever. Our blessings are with his family.

David & Karen Wilcox

My condolences to the family for their loss. While there was always a line drawn between police and the press, Greg always treated me well and in the context of mutual respect. We also had motorcycles in common, so I hope he's on that great eternal ride.

Captain Turley was a good officer,and served Charleston County well.

Gerald was a good friend and will be missed, we worked together on Charleston County police, he was great in law enforcement and friendships, he will be really missed, my prayers go out to him and his family.

Dennis W Martin Sr.

I will miss my best friend; however the laughter, tears, and joyfull memories I will treasure forever.

Mrs. Turley,
I'm very sorry to hear about your lost. Gerald and I worked together many years together on the County Police Department in the first formed SID Unit. My Prayers go out to you and your family. May the All Mighty GOD be with you.

I worked with Gregg at the CCPD and he was a great officer. May you find comfort in God's love.
