This sculpture, to the memory of Joseph Turkaly, is unlike any I have seen before. And there’s a good reason for that – it is his own creation. Turkaly was a Croatian-born sculptor who made his adult home in Cleveland Heights. I haven’t been able to determine the title to the piece at this time.
Nice! An angel of some kind of his own making. I love it! Before I die, I would like to leave, “Something to remember me by!” Perfect!
Great research, Ashley, thanks for sharing!
Hello my name is Tom Turkaly the son of Joseph Turkaly. Thank you for your post and kind words. The title of the piece is “Departed Soul”
OMG, what are the odds?!? Wow, Tom, this is not my blog but I must say, you are so kind to leave a comment! Wow.
Thank you for stopping by, Tom. I always hope that the families of those whose memorials I photograph will be pleased with what I write if they come across it.
