SEE SLIDESHOW ABOUT NAT



NATALE 'NAT' ALBERT TURCO, 50, died in his sleep while on tour with Toby Keith in Nashville, Tennessee on July 19, 2007


Nat was born on March 17, 1957 and grew up in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Nat is survived by his father, Dr. Vincent 'Bob' Turco, and mother, LaVerne 'Lovey' Turco, of Wakefield. Nat is also survived by two sisters, Patricia A. (Turco) McConnell of Wakefield and Katherine R. Turco of Fairbanks, Alaska and two brothers, Vincent J.P. Turco of Kingston, Rhode Island, and Keith Turco of Durango, Colorado. He was the beloved uncle of Molly and Adam McConnell of Wakefield, and Rae and Joseph Turco of Kingston. Nat is the nephew of Robert and Dolores Safko of Newbury, Ohio; Edward and Rita Oktares of N. Olmstead, Ohio; Claire and the late Everett Peduzzi of Westerly, Rhode Island; Arthur and Esther O'Neill of Pawcatuck, Connecticut; and the late Joseph and Margaret Gomes of Westerly. Nat was the grandson of the late Natale and Rosina Turco of Westerly.

In his early twenties, Nat left the East Coast to follow his passion for alpine skiing, which led him into avalanche control at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, California. For the past 25 years, Nat made his home in Truckee, California where he loved living in the mountains close to Lake Tahoe. He expanded his work as a blasting engineer beyond avalanche control and then branched off into the field of pyrotechnics, where he did fireworks displays for professional sporting events and concerts including the Superbowl, The National Hockey League, Boston Pops Orchestra, Chris LeDoux, the Back Street Boys, the Rolling Stones, Chayanne, the Professional Bull Riders, and Toby Keith. No matter how much he traveled, Nat considered Truckee his home, where he enjoyed taking care of his property through the seasons. He never tired of telling stories about his life on the road and the great people he worked with who, like his friends in Truckee, he considered part of his extended family. Getting weary of life on the road, Nat was planning to teach pyrotechnics and blasting so that he could share his knowledge and experience in the field. Throughout his life, Nat remained a kind and genuine person who maintained strong ties with his parents, siblings, and extended family. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends; the pain of losing Nat will be felt everywhere.


As he requested, Nat is buried next to his grandmother and grandfather at St. Sebastian Cemetery in Westerly, Rhode Island. A memorial fund is being established in Nat's name for the promotion of safety and professionalism in pyrotechnics and blasting. Donations may be sent to: The Nat Turco Memorial Fund, 77 Main St., Wakefield, RI 02879. There will be a gathering in honor of Nat in Truckee; the date has yet to be set. For more information, please email his sister Kathy at kath@alaskas-spirit.com or call her at (907) 455-4286

THE NAT TURCO MEMORIAL FUND FOR AVALANCHE,
BLASTING, AND PYROTECHNICS SAFETY



The Nat Turco Memorial Fund for Avalanche, Blasting, and Pyrotechnics Safety is being held and managed as an endowment fund by a non-profit organization located near Nat’s home called the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation. To learn more, go to www.ttcf.org or call 530-587-1776. To send a donation make a check payable to “Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation” and on the memo line write “The Nat Turco Memorial Fund.” Mail to: Box 366 Truckee, CA 96160. Send an email to Nat’s sister Kathy at kath@alaskas-spirit.com to say you have made a donation and she will inform you about your tax deduction.


The purpose of the endowment fund is to support safety education associated with Nat’s dual profession of snow & rock blasting and pyrotechnics for perpetuity.


Nat’s snow and rock blasting career was started and developed in the Truckee-Tahoe area. The fund will support efforts associated with local avalanche forecasting, both local and national mountain safety for all ages, and all safety aspects of avalanche control. This will also include safety working with dynamite, any education associated with shot design and hands-on field training, blasting safety curriculum development, study aids for obtaining blasting licenses, and professional think tank meetings for both snow and rock blasting. The fund will support local and national youth, communities, students, and professional educational venues including non-profit educational web sites or the development of web sites geared towards safety education. The fund will also support education scholarships including travel to professional meetings that emphasize blasting safety, and the development of seminars, professional meetings, and curriculum about blasting safety.

Nat’s pyrotechnic training also started in the Truckee-Tahoe area and the Sierras. The fund will support a series of safety training classes and activities associated with fireworks displays and usage in the area. It will especially support pyrotechnic professionals on the road working for national and international tours, including rock groups, country stars, bands, bull-riders, sports events, orchestras, or any public display of pyrotechnics both indoors (proximate) and outdoors. The fund will support youth, community, and students learning about fireworks; the establishment of web pages and web sites devoted to safety education to reach as many people as possible; and scholarships & travel to professional meetings that emphasize safety training. The fund will also support the development of meetings and curriculum about using pyrotechnics safety, and the education of fire service professionals in regulating these events

Nat was a friend and bro and one of the best pyros I've ever worked with. We toured together on Chris LeDoux and other gigs and he was one of the safest, most dedicated guys out there on the road. My love and support go out to his family and I wish them the best in dealing with their loss, and I'm sure he and Chris are playing golf out there somewhere

I'm Nat's #2 sister and I'm up late here at the house we grew up in remembering him home last year at this time for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Yep- Nat was their beloved first-born and my oldest brother. Both being night owls, we'd stay up late every night talking, talking, talking about both being freelancers in the entertainment business . . . life on the road (or in my case in the field), all the great people we know, all the adventures, all the disappointments, those few incredible miracle moments, and mostly together we thanked the stars we went after our dreams, loved our work, and had no regrets. I really miss my big brother even though he was always telling me what to do, that is, to stop stressing out and to believe in myself & my sound art. Burying him last week was by far the most difficult thing I have ever experienced. I want everyone to know that hundreds of extended family and friends gathered here in his honor; there was soooooo much love for him. Nat was put in the earth right next to his Italian grandmother and grandfather, which is where he wanted to be. At this wee hour, here's a huge THANKS to all the 'roadies,' who Nat very much considered family, for loving him as you did. Please keep the spirit of Nat close and the world will be a better place . . .

Nat, Turc, or the politically incorrect of the 60's and 70's Guinie or Wap has been a friend of mine since birth I guess. Our parents were close friends and Nat and I went to school together from pre-k through high school. We even made our first communion together.

You may wonder how Nat got his start in pyro. I think his Dad can take some credit but I just remember we always had fireworks. From cherry bombs to sparklers and even the famous ladyfingers which we used to play chicken with. Light them and see who had the balls to hold on the longest before they popped. Nat always won and never got "blown up".

Moving on to bigger items Nat somehow garnered a Leggs pantyhose egg. (Not to wear them, but to blow it up). He then proceeded to fill it with heads from wooden matched, cramming this egg. Fashioning a long fuse from our "salutes" Nat made his first bomb for lack of a technical term. Set it off under an overpass and I swear to God it was like dynamite. Blew a hole in the ground, smoke everywhere and we just stood back up on the hill and watched as the fire trucks came. Not cool since my Dad was the freekin fire chief.

Our lives and adventures changed as the seasosn did. During the winter we would go "bog slogging" (technical term for playing on swamps not totally frozen with ice) The winner was the driest. Turc won always, little monkey boy. Skinny and quick.

Other seasons were spent at the "Autograph Tree". Hours and hours playing in a 300 year old monstorous Beech Tree. We would carve our names, intitials, G/F's with hearts all over the tree. We would also play tag in the tree. Monkey boy would always win. Once again skinny and quick. I went there this week, but did not climb. To old, to fat. Just wanted to think of Nat.

Nat was not fearless, just well calculated since day 1.

Over the years we did not see each other much. I visted him and skied out west twice and would try to see him when he came home. Whenever I would see his folks, I would always ask, who is Nat touring with? Damn I was so proud to have a friend who I deemed as famous. Would always tell my local friends and clients, " I have this friend.........." They were always amazed.

Nat may be gone now, but I will continue to be proud of my friend and to tell my friends and clients, "I have this friend...."

He lived his life doing what he loved, BLOWING SHIT UP.

Peace-Out Turc
Friend Brad

I only had the pleasure of meeting nat once, but for that one night i met him, he was a hard working, kind person who really meant well. I was glad to say that i had worked at least one show with him, and im sure for everyone who worked many more the same could be said. I wish my very best to his family and friends, and all those who have the task of carrying on without nat. My best goes out to you all, and god bless.

I will truly miss Nat. He was the easiest man/roadie to get along with that I have ever had the pleasure of gigging with. Truly a cool cat under fire. I always felt safe with him and the fireworks. I would laugh when I would catch him on the bus eating the chocolate cake at 4am in the morning that he would sneek out of catering. He sure kept that back lounge clean too. True Gentlemen.

I know your laughing with me!
Miss you brother.
May you see the streets of Gold.

It has been very rough to carry on without Nat. I still miss seeing him sitting across the stage in front of the monitor desk. I have never meet anyone like him, he was always in a good mood and one of the most meticulaous person that I have ever known. I am happy to be able to have called him friend and worked with him for a couple years. I know that he will be watching over my shoulder keeping me safe.

Moses said...

Heyfriends and road dogs....just wanted everyone to know that it was a pleasure to have Nat on the road with us the last couple of tours. He was truly a sweet man with a heart of gold. NEVER did a week go by that he didn't come to me and thank us for the gig...that is rare.
He will be missed big time!
The first couple of nights back out on the tour without Nat, we had some concussions that didn't exactly explode at the right times....none of us know how or why...but I know he was in Heaven laughing his ass off at us!
Miss you brother!

Last summer I was out behind the scenes with the Toby Keith Crew for two shows in Ohio and had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Nat the Rat. That interview can now be found in the Memorial section of the website. Today I am going to be with the Toby Keith Crew again and I will miss not seeing Nat the Rat. But I am going to find David Milam and give him a copy of the interview for his family. This October at Roadie Palooza 3 in Las Vegas we will have the Roadie Roll Call and we will remember Nat the Rat Turco.

Moses said...

We (the Toby camp) were fortunate enough to have Nat out with us the least couple of tours. He was absolutely the best...as a person as well as a pyro guru. I know that his concern for our safety was always at the forefront with him. He threw in wherever and whenever. This is the truth...the man never let a week go by that he didn't seek me out in a production office, my bus or by cell and thank us for the gig.....EVERY WEEK!
We truly miss Nat. His family should know that we all love and miss Nat.
God Bless,
David Milam

Nat was a friend of mine for many years and he will be missed terribly by all the Toby Keith crew. I have known Nat since we did the Backstreet Boys in 1999 and was always smiling, always did his job with a caution and care,that you always know you had nothing to fear from the pyro. I miss you buddy.

Need to send a shout out to Nat Turco who passed last week on the Toby Keith tour . . . Nat was the “best pyro guy in the business” hands down . . . and he will be missed . . .

Moses said...

I'm Kathy, Nat's #2 sister. I just wanted to say thanks to all of Nat's friends in Truckee for being there for him over the last 25 years. I've lived in Alaska for around the same amount of time and I know how important friends can be in a small community; sometimes they are thicker than blood. Please know that hundreds of extended family and friends gathered here in Rhode Island in the small town that Nat grew up in. Nat was buried with much love. Our family definitely wants to do something special in Truckee to honor him so please keep an ear out as we'll spread the word when we have a date. In the meantime, to his friends, please keep the spirit of Nat close and the world will be a better place . . .

Moses said...

I met Nat in Truckee in the early 80's...may even have been earlier. We were new neighbors and met when my car rolled across the street and broad-sided his orange camero (I think it was a camero). Although I left him a note, he thought it happened in Reno!! I was renting at the time, and Nat took me in after I got a short-notice eviction due to house sale. We were roommates only a short time and we only saw each other once in a blue moon after that, but I never forgot his kindness and he always made me smile when we ran in to each other at Alpine or the Glenshire Market. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.A truly unique and loving guy is gone....

THE TURCO FAMILY,
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AFTER THE SUDDEN LOSS OF NAT. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THE SAD NEWS AND COULD ONLY THINK OF MY OWN BROTHER WHO CONSIDERED NAT TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND. MY BROTHER AND NAT LEFT SOUTH CTY SOME 29 YRS AGO IN A 76 MUSTANG HEADING WEST TO CALIFORNIA AND ONLY 1 WOULD RETURN HOME. THEY REMAINED VERY TIGHT AND SAW EACH OTHER WHENEVER THEY COULD BUT NAT ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION. I HAD THE PLEASURE TO SEE NAT ON A FEW OF HIS VISITS BACK HOME AND REALLY ENJOYED HEARING ABOUT HIS VERY INTERESTING PROFESSION. HE DEFINATELY LIVED LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY ALL.

Moses said...

I was one of the lucky ones who had the pleasure of working with Nat. We are all so saddened by his early passing. I wanted to share a little story... I know he loved playing golf and would tell me if he won or lost against Sam one of our lighting technicians. They would play every time they got a chance. Well, from what Sam tells me, the last game he played he shot an 80 and was a very happy camper. He was such a great guy and cared for everyone. He will truly be missed. From all of us out here on the road, we send our deepest sympathies and prayers.

Dear Dr.& Mrs. Turco,

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Turco, Patty, Kathy, Vincent and Keith,
Nat's passing is such a shock and I am sure it has been felt throughout the states. My heart goes out to you all as do my prayers.

What a wonderful life, to fill your days fulfilling the passions you enjoy and savoring every minute of every day! A truly remarkable person! I know how much you will all feel the loss and I sincerely want you to know we all appreciate the way he has touched so many lives in the past 50 years. I wish you all well through the journey that lies ahead.

Dear Dr. & Mrs. Vincent Turco:
I was shocked & saddened to learn of Nat's death. I will always remember the charming lad I knew as a young man when he worked at Davis Liquor. I will be bringing to you a wonderful photo of Nat as he was lounging on a charter sailboat we took the Davis Liquor crew out on one fabulous summer day in Narragansett Bay. I remember when he & Peter drove his sister to college in Missoula (sp?) Montana & had a wonderful trip via the Grand Canyon on their way back to RI. Nat will be truly missed by everyone who knew & loved him.

My prayers are with you all. Nat was a special person and a special friend. My memories will always be happy ones of the times we shared together. Nat followed his dreams. Be a Dr? Hell no! I want to play with fireworks and ski for a living. This he did with an expertise second to none. A true professional.
God bless to all of you. Love,

Dr. Turco, Mrs. Turco, Patty, Kathy, Vincent and Keith, 
I offer my deepest sympathy to you all, and share in your grief in losing Nat. Having grown up with Nat, and your family, I know how special he was, and how painful his loss is. Just last week my sisters and I were looking through my baby book, noting how often Nat is mentioned from the very beginning. I truly am so very sorry for your loss, and fear words alone cannot express that which I wish to. Your family will be held in my prayers, with Mass offerings for Nat. God Bless you all. With my most sincere condolences
Teri Hamilton (Groton, CT)

It is coming up on three months since Nat died- wow,is it still very hard to believe. I have never lost a sibling so all has been new for me. In living so far away from my a huge extended family and a lifetime of friends (I live in Alaska), the "connections" have been/will be forever kept alive by voice via the phone, and also by something else that I can't describe. I've got Nat with me snug in that ~something else~ place where ever I go, and appropriately so with the coming of winter in these parts. As the seasonal darkness approaches, may everyone out there who knew and loved Nat remember his untamed electric energy and great heart. He had a thing about checking in with people he cared about at the most unexpected times- smile when you think you feel him : ). sister kathy

We sure missed Nat out there on the road with Toby Keith.
It's just too damn sad that he is truly gone. I can't speak for anyone else but myself on this but It's almost like he just took another gig and we haven't seen him for a few months. You know, I just don't think it has really sunk in for some of us because of the nature of our business. We were right in the middle of our tour and some guys come from one tour to ours or they have left ours for another one.
Nat was always there with Bull so we knew he would always be there. Then when he actually didn't show up we knew it was real.
I know he kept me laughing at him and he wasn't even trying to. About every other day I would hear him cussing and just going off on himself for the littlest thing! It might be he left something downstage or he forgot to get a roll of E tape. Just real trivial things and I would start laughing and say what now?
He was just a Perfectionist at everything he did and wasn't happy unless it went off without a hitch.
He is truly missed.
God Bless you bro,
Bones

I only knew Nat for a short time. I was lucky enough to tour with him last summer on Toby Keith. He was a great guy and consumate professional I always felt safe with Nat on the deck. He checked and double checked was easy to get along with and always lent a helping hand. He always had a good word and positive attitude. Nat will be missed by all. Rest in peace brother, Tony D.

I was lucky enough to tour with Nat on the Backstreet Boys tour. I was the Production Assistant. I was very saddened to learn Nat had passed away on my birthday. I loved working with Nat, he and his pyro room were often my refuge from the craziness of production. One of my most favorite memories in my years of touring was when Nat let me "press the buttons" to fire some pyro. What an honor, I was so excited and still am that he allowed me to learn from him. Many times we sat on the floor in the hotel laundry room justtelling stories. Nat turned me onto Chris Le Doux and whenever I would hear the name or a song it always made me think of him. I still have the Le Doux shirt and laminate he gave me. Like others I could go on and on with Nat memories. Nat, thank you for always having a smile for me when I needed it. A refuge in your pyro room when I need an escape. You will be greatly missed but I promise you, never forgotten. I hope to work with on shows in heaven someday. Until then, keep giving us spectacular shows with thunder and lightening!

We're about to have a memorial for our good friend Nat. A bunch of us will gather at Alpine Meadows on June 29th and have a time telling Nat stories, I'm sure Nat would like that. Our meeting Nat for the first time in the mid eighties, we as a blasting crew, soon found a gem in him. His thirst for knowledge took our blasting to new heights. We always laugh about the first time we tossed Nat his first stick of dynamite. He darn near fainted. It was nice to see Nat in his niche, high explosives. Over the years at Alpine Meadows I had the pleasure to be in Nats company and to show him the ropes about mountain work and just like Nat, he absorbed it like a sponge. Nat was at my side for many a hard day and I always felt safe working with him. A few years after our days at Alpine, Nat had gone into the pyrotechnic world and this time he showed me the ropes during our tour of the Back Street Boys. He referred to each show like it was a new rock. Safety for a blaster is paramount and he took that into the pyrotechnic world. Because of his determination to do a fine job each and every time he kept the artists, crew, and fans safe. The entertainment world has suffered a great loss because Nats shows were always perfect with each hit on target. Nat touched thousands of people in his life and his name lives on. Having had Nat in my life for over twenty-five years was a joy....Im going to miss him terribly.
