Andy McKenna, chairman of McDonald’s board of directors, said: “Fred was a true pioneer and shaped the quick service restaurant industry. We will remember his leadership, passion and dedication to McDonald’s, our customers and our people.”
Turner is heralded as the architect of the “quality, service, and cleanliness” (QSC) restaurant operations model that launched McDonald’s global presence and unparalled leadership in the industry. A native of Des Moines, Iowa, he was one of founder Ray Kroc’s first employees in 1956, and then partnered with Kroc in building the McDonald’s system.
