OBITUARY:
TURNER - Paul Jensen White passed away peacefully at his home after a valiant 3 1/2 year battle with cancer.
Paul was born in Preston, Idaho on March 25, 1944, to Edyre Rex and Martha (Jensen) White. He was the third of eight children.
Paul served a 2-year church mission in Toronto, Canada. He married Barbara Strohbin on August 6, 1983. Together they built a lovely home in the Turner area. Paul had many artistic talents and was a renowned saddle maker, establishing Santiam Saddlery in the local area, where he resided for the past 40 years.
Paul touched many lives for good with his respect for all people, his gentle nature and generous heart, his sense of humor with his cowboy ways and wit, his positive approach to all challenges, and with his wonderful zest for life. All children, especially, loved him and knew him as "Uncle" Paul. He enjoyed hunting and the outdoors. He was an avid reader and shared his knowledge with everyone. He was greatly loved and he will surely be missed by all.
Paul was preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; brothers, Jack, Jim, Dan, and Steve; sisters, Joyce Ball, Lorraine Dahl, and Karen Stone; and numerous nieces and nephews.
