Ya know, it only took me two years and some deep thought to say goodbye, because I don't believe its goodbye. I'm not going to refer back before Karla took her own life and those dark times after we had been shown the "way out". I'm going for it all, Reto, I'm going to earn that nickname so I can own it like I own "Papa". I'm about a year short of my LCPC after earning my Masters- I'll take the diploma and license sometime early 2012. Long ways from the Three Amigos (with Steve) and that year at Brockbridge, and no one knows but you and I the day I od'ed and you threw me in the shower and saved my life. Your legacy lives on in me and every person I help gets a piece of the gratitude I feel because you mentored me in the ways of the real world. I'll see you when the call goes out, but I have much to do here. you earned your wings, I'm in the process. I can be contacted at 240-645-8389 for any mutual friends who need support. Love you, man,why didn't we see each oyher more towards the end???
Your spirit and legend will always remain with even though our time was limited and my last born child who had the experience to meet you in such a beautifu way i did not have much time with you at the end and never once thought goodbye would greet me at the door but your presence passed thru my last born and i have you here with me you and are a phenomenial person and will always remain in body mind soul and spirit and just like an angel watching over so peaceful i remeber and will never forget i only have the good times to think about which gets me by and thru and lets me know peace be still and worry not for i have never left you

Motorcyclist remembered as mentor, friend to many
by Melissa A. Chadwick | Staff Writer
The Boyds motorcyclist who was killed in a crash with a car last week is remembered as a mentor who helped those who have struggled with addiction.
Harry William Turner III, 59, died July 21 after the motorcycle he was driving was hit by a car late July 20. The driver of the car was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Sgt. Meredith Dominick, head of the Montgomery County Police Collision Reconstruction Unit, said the case is being investigated. She said she expects to meet with the State’s Attorney’s Office in September to discuss whether charges should be filed.
Turner helped people with their drug and alcohol addictions.
‘‘He was one of the people who got me clean for 15 years,” said lifelong friend Jerome Hall of Germantown. ‘‘He helped me turn my life around.”
Turner’s sister, Yvonne Shelton, said her that her brother had struggled with drugs and was clean for 37 years.
‘‘He helped a lot of people get their lives straightened out, get their lives back,” she said.
Turner started riding motorcycles when he was 9 and loved meeting people on the road, Hall said.
‘‘He’s been into riding and working on them and taking trips around the United States on motorcycles,” he said. ‘‘He’s the type of person that if he was riding somewhere and met you, he would conversate with you and exchange numbers with you and ride with you.”
Turner moved into his Slidell Road home in Boyds two months ago, Shelton said. He owned Gaithersburg-based Branmore Construction and was a minister with the Moorish Science Temple of America in Gaithersburg.
Turner, a 1967 graduate of Gaithersburg High School, is survived by his wife, Lisa M. Turner. He was the father to Eric Turner, Brandy Grigsby, Isaiah Swann, Morgan Turner and the late Jeffrey Turner.
