He was born July 20, 1928, into an early Madison family that settled on Turville Point in the early 1850s. Living on a peninsula of Lake Monona meant he had a passion for water. He remembered when hunters still shot ducks in the Monona bays, he could ice boat or cruise the lake and when he could swim or skate to the Isthmus. A lifelong love of flowers and nature came from his father's greenhouse business and the beautiful woods full of wildflowers that surrounded the family home. As a young man, he managed and eventually purchased an office supply store and later invested in rental properties. It was with deep sorrow that he was forced to sell his beloved family home on the shores of Lake Monona in the 1960s as part of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Basin Project. The family homestead and its eight homes, effigy mounds, graves and gardens were slated for a park. He spent the next 30 years turning his town of Pleasant Springs farm into a place of wildlife, water and flowers. His greatest passion was his lifetime of service to his community. He served his country in the Army National Guard. In the early years he gave many hours of his time to the Muscular Dystrophy Association and helped build St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church. As a member of Madison Central Lions Club, he held numerous offices, including district governor, committed to helping the blind, deaf and disabled and to see the founding of the Wisconsin eye bank and development of the Lions Camp in Rosholt. When his children were young, he served as a co- leader of the Kegonsa Hustlers 4-H Club, was involved with the Stoughton Fair Board and poultry judging. He was a longtime donor to UW athletics, a lifetime member of the Mendota Grid Iron Club and spent years until his illness attending football and basketball games and following the Badgers on the road. He married first, Mildred Davies, with whom he had a daughter, Katherine Lee. In 1956 he married Doris Cody and they had two children, Henry Q. Jr., and Margaret E. He suffered his first stroke in 1993 and the long decline of his health began. In 1995 he married Delores Watenpuhl Roatch. They were later divorced. He was forced to move to Skaalen Nursing Home in Stoughton in 1997 and was forced to sell his beloved town of Pleasant Springs farm. He is survived by his children, Henry Q. Turville Jr. and Meg Turville-Heitz; and his grandson, Morgan Turville- Heitz. He is further survived by a dear friend and business manager, Pamela Hanzel. He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Katherine; and his son-in-law, David Heitz. Funeral services will be held at the CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 6021 University Ave., at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, March 7, 2005.
