Vale Cedric (Shorty) Turner
Long-standing members will be saddened to learn of the passing of former member number 115 Cedric (Shorty) Turner. Known as Shorty in his earlier days with Masters he and his wife Ann were regular competitors and Race Directors. Shorty encouraged and helped train other members for longer distances and formed ‘Shorty and his Sheilas’ to compete in the Perth Marathon Relay for several years. Cedric had a great sense of humour and enjoyed the twice yearly camp away with the Masters group – running, eating and laughing a lot.
Our condolences to Ann and the family.
