Ray Herbert Turner, age 65, of University Circle died Tuesday at Conway Medical Center. Ray grew up in Florence playing baseball and football all of his young life. He moved to Conway in 1960 when his parents bought the parts business. He continued playing baseball and football earning many honors graduating in 1963. After attending USC in Columbia, he came back home to help his mother and brother run the family business. He started playing golf in the late 1960's at Conway Country Club where he scored his first "hole in one" and lived at Quail Creek Golf course. Golf was his passion for many years winning many tournaments and trophies. He was a fixture at the Conway Recreation Department for many coaching years in baseball and football. Coaching youth to get to the next level in both sports became his second passion. He was also a partner in developing Coastal Ale House Bar & Grill here in Conway. Everyone who knew Ray also knew what a huge Gamecock fan he was.
