Turk Lilliston

Mr. Albert Lee “Turk” Lilliston, 79, beloved husband of Barbara Lilliston and a resident of Deep Creek, VA, passed away Saturday, September 30, 2017 surrounded by his loving family.

Born September 20, 1938 in Nassawadox, VA, he was a son of the late Wesley Earl Lilliston and Edith Williams Lilliston Lewis.  Following his service in the United States Navy, Turk returned home to run the family business, A.L. Lilliston Seafood, where he spent most of his time driving the seafood truck.  Over the years, Turk delivered seafood to countless businesses along the east coast, and never once met a stranger.  Known for his larger than life personality, kind heart, and especially for his humor and quick wit, Turk had a way to make anyone feel at ease.  He adored his family, and was especially grateful for the two loves of his life, Barbara and his fur baby, "Digger".  Though he will be greatly missed, his legacy of love and laughter will live on forever through the many lives he touched and the beautiful memories shared.
