Dad was a very generous person. He was a hard worker and a good provider. He and mom celebrated almost 72 years of marriage. I shall miss him.

To all the Price family, I am sorry to hear of Virgil's passing. I'll always remember him and Jane as being such kind people. I only met them a few times when delivering my brother, Steve's, newspapers on occasion back in the late 50's and early 60's. If it was cold out they'd always invite us in to get warm. What a nice family. God bless you all. With my deepest sympathy, Virginia
