In Memoriam: Kerry Turner

I was lucky to know and ADORE Kerry Turner for 15yrs in our industry. Kerry was a LEGEND, always positive and with a great idea to implement. His knowledge of our industry and the companies he worked for was always top notch. He was kind and funny and the kind of person we all wanted to have on our team. Words seem so hollow here compared to the light he brought to our world and industry. It was a honor to know and love him. God Bless Kerry Turner and his family. If we all feel this broken about the loss of him, I can only imagine how his family feels. We are all devastated by this loss. We love you Kerry and are lifting you, Alisha, and Addi up in prayer.

In Memoriam: Kerry Turner

Kerry Turner was the best friend I ever had in the supplier side of our industry. I began to work with him in 1974 when he and his Mother started Kerry's Etc. His work ethic was second to none, and he seldom made a mistake. When he did, he was fast to correct it . When he moved from Arlington TX to Dallas into a previous Coca Cola Building he was so excited for the future growth of Kerry's Etc. Of course the 1980's hit us and it almost sunk us all, including Kerry's Etc. When the opportunity for Numo came, it was salvation for Kerry and he never looked back. Mike Hicks was the next best thing that ever happened for Kerry and he had told me recently that he felt truly blessed to be working with Mike and Best Promotions. My tears came heavy today as I thought of the many times Kerry and I performed miracles for my clients. Kerry's moniker should be "This Man Can Do It". He was my friend and No One will ever replace Kerry Turner. May God rest His soul and use Kerry to decorate the awards we will receive in Heaven. Please lift Alisha and Addi up in your prayers and donate to the go fund me page for Addi.

Exhibitors Experience Firsthand The Pluses (And Minuses) Of A Virtual Show

The online platform took a little time to figure out how it all worked, how to click through to things and find events, but I could tell that it had been professionally put together with a lot of thought and effort. It was great for strolling through exhibitors and not having aching feet at the end of the day. However, I sincerely hope this does not permanently take the place of in-person shows. I want to be able to see items in person, meet and talk to reps in person. Maybe I'm a product of my generation but live events feel so much more engaging.
