Jack M. Turnquist Published February 10, 2008 TURNQUIST, JACK MYRON, Passed away on February 5, 2008. He was born on July 14, 1931 to Malcolm and Edna Turnquist in San Juan, Texas. He attended Illinois Wesleyan University and the University of Iowa, where he received a M.S. in mathematics. Jack started his business career in Chicago in 1955 as an actuary for Continental Assurance Co. He moved to Dallas in 1965. Jack was a director of Tillinghast, Nelson, and Warren, an international actuarial consulting firm until 1987 when he started his own firm, Totidem Verbis, where he provided actuarial expert services on insurance company litigation and re-organization matters until he retired in 2001. Jack devoted many years to the service of actuarial governing bodies, the American Academy of Actuaries and the Conference of Consulting Actuaries. During his service he was president of the CCA and AAA in addition to serving as chairman of numerous committees. He is survived by his devoted wife of 50 years, Edith Santistevan Turnquist; daughter, Jill Ivy and her husband, Richard Ivy; daughter, Joy Hessenflow and her husband, Steve Hessenflow; daughter, Monique Underwood; daughter, Laura Ledgard and her husband, Larry Ledgard; son, Phillip Maynez; sister, Karen Cacioppo; a great grandson, and numerous grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other family. He was preceded in death by his mother, Edna Hamilton; father, Malcolm Turnquist; stepmother, Lillian Turnquist; and brother, Edgar Turnquist. Jack was a perfectionist who was soft-spoken, civil, and unassuming with a dry humor and sharp wit. He would be embarrassed by the attention that will be given his life. He was generous to friends, family and colleagues; giving time, expertise, and love freely. He loved classical music, planning and traveling to far-flung places, food, and wine. There will be a celebration of Jacks life on Friday, February 15, 2008 from 3 pm to 6 pm at the Hilton Dallas, Lincoln Centre at 5410 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, TX 75240.
