Obituary
The family of Turner Harshaw of Madison sadly announces his passing on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at the age of 93. Turner is remembered for his remarkable generosity to his family and community, having been president of both Nakoma and Maple Bluff Country Clubs, an indefatigable referee of swimming meets, and devoted parishioner of St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in Cherokee.
Turner graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1954, was an alumnus of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and held Badger football season tickets for six decades. He was the longtime co-owner of Romo Durable Graphics in Green Bay.
Turner is survived by four children, Robin of Lesvos, Greece, Jonathan (Laurel) of Fort Collins, Colo., Antonie (Chetter) of Denver, Colo., Tobin (Jane) of New York City; as well as nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. While he will be greatly missed, he now joins his wife of 67 years, Mary, for eternity.
