Sending condolences to Cora and the family
Rest in peace “Cobb”

Mr. Howard Turner was very important to the African American community throughout his life, in fact to me he was a "cultural icon". In the early 1970's I was honored to be selected by Mr.Turner to be in a photo of him styling the Afro hairstyle, our photo was featured in the Fulton Sun Gazette. Thank you Mr. Turner for understanding that the natural Afro was more than a hairstyle; he knew it was a symbol of African American power and elegance. Blessing of strength and love to Mr. Howard Turner's family & love ones.

I send my love and condolences to Cora and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. He was an amazing man and will be missed. I love you all

I always remember Howard as a kid growing up he always kept that afro and I remember him cutting hair he was always nice and always spoke to you my condolences to the family I love you forever ms.cora Lee
