Wilburne “Wells” Turner, “Headed West” on September 14, 2023.
Well’s wife Bridget told us “Wells was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on 06 April 2023, he passed away five months later on 14 September 2023.
Wells read every single word of every issue of The Intake. Wells was grateful for you, Jim and The Intake team for creating the Super Sabre Society and publishing The Intake. I attended a few of the reunions in Las Vegas with Wells. Reconnecting with his fellow F-100 pilots was one of the highlights of Wells’ life.”
