Clive was born on July 7, 1938 in Nottinghamshire, England to Albert and Gertrude Singleton-Turner who predeceased him.  Clive grew up in the war years and was trained as an Aeronautical Engineer at de Havilland Aircraft (now British Aerospace). In 1969 he and his former wife Jean along with their two young sons migrated to Australia.

Clive started at Caltex Oil working his way to General Manager of Aviation Operations. Because of his desire to perform his responsibilities at a high level he sought ways to enhance his knowledge including being a European Engineer, a Chartered Engineer in the UK Engineering Council, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Royal Aeronautical Society, and was a Certified Flight Instructor. He also obtained his degree in business at the University of Technology Sydney with an accounting major. Clive (CJ) and his wife Sandra (Sandy) have lived in both Texas and Australia enjoying time near both of their families.  They moved to Georgetown in late 2015. CJ was a faithful disciple of Christ and enjoyed working with children at his church.  CJ and Sandy are members of Crestview Baptist Church.

He is survived by his beloved of 30 years, Sandra (Lester) Singleton-Turner of Georgetown, Texas; son, Sean  Singleton-Turner and his wife, Karen and their children, Scott and Adam all of Sunshine NSW, Australia; son, Keith Singleton-Turner and his wife Lilia, and their children, Krystyna and Oliver all of Castle Hill NSW, Australia; brother, Roger Singleton-Turner and his wife, Jacqui, and their daughter, Laura all of North Yorkshire, England; as well as many much loved extended family and friends.
