  • Wow. This is my Great Grandfather!  My grandfather was Frank James, later Francis John Turley Sr. as my father (1931-1973) was Francis John Turley Jr.  My son is named John Francis in their honor. I wish this picture was a bit more clear. Handsome man! :-)

  • Hey Lizzie,

     

    I found this photo among my dad's (Joseph Leo Turley) few pictures that I managed to get hold of.  I am his daughter, Kathy Turley Stevens, and we met a few years ago through email when I was moving from MA to OH.  Dad had names on the back of the picture as it was a family visit from Great Grandpa and a few others but it was hard to match names with faces.  The picture was taken in 1944.
