Clifford Cecil Turnbull, age 69, died on Saturday, January 30, 2021 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, NS.  Born in Hawkes Harbour, Labrador, he was a son of the late Walter and Jessie (Clark) Turnbull. With his best friend,  his caregiver, guardian, Phyllis Stewart, Kentville, NS, and caregiver and friend Audrey Jacquard, Kentville, NS, by his side on his final journey, with great attentiveness, compassion,  holding his hand, he slipped into his eternal rest.  Prior to his failing health, Clifford was a roofer and a jack of all trades. He enjoyed life to its fullest, he loved to ride in his day, and nothing sounded better than the sound of a bike. He enjoyed sitting by the campfire with the "Captain" his friends and his "Brothers" by choice, and having a good time. He also enjoyed fishing back home in Newfoundland. Clifford is survived by his children, Lisa Clarke, Carbonear, NL; Sam Turnbull (Marnie), Carbonear NL; Jackie Turnbull (Dennis Sheppard), Harbour Grace, NL; and their mother Sandra Turnbull, Carbonear, NL; sisters, Agnes Brassard, and Julie Brown, both of ON; and brother, Harrison (Sharon), Victoria, NL. He was loving Grampie to Jordan (Hamwall) and AJ (August John) Clarke, and Kayla and DJ Sheppard; grandfather to Tyler, Brett, Brandon, Jacob, Havanna and Christian; and great-grandfather to Quinn, Leah, Dominic and Conner. He was also loving Uncle to many of his nieces and nephews. He was loving Bubba to Sara, Kayla and Kendra, and their parents Tony and Tammy Harper. His chosen family in NS, Marion (Charles) Harper, Millville; Patty Harper, and Milly (Gerald) Harper, of Kentville; and Ken (Donna) Harper of Lakeville, and their Mother Lena Harper; and a large number of extended family and friends, in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his youngest son, his son-in-law, Keith Morehouse; sisters, Delphine, Racheal and Lillian; and brothers, Eric, William "Bill", Fred, Alton and a brother in infancy.
