Debbie it's been along time since we've seen one another. As a kid I thought Mr.Price was the most handsome man I'd ever seen. Spending time at your house when we were young, he treated me like I was one of his children. I'm sure you'll miss him dearly. God truly blessed him with a long life. Blessings to you and yours.

To Debbie, Tommy and Greg, you have my deepest sympathy for the lost of your father. I'll never forget our days on Hamilton St. Mr Price was the coolest and most laid back man I've ever met. I have many fond memories of your father and family.

To Debra Price and the entire Price Family, I extend my deepest condolence in the passing of such an accomplished and inspirational human being, Mr. A. Price Sr. Even throughout our high school days, not many of our friends knew of Mr. Price's accomplishments, and what their significance meant in our community. I'm grateful not only to have understood that fact, but to also have gleaned from it, and his contributions to the world, and especially to our community. His significance inspired me to pursue my dreams and assert myself, in finding my place in the world. May his fond memories console your pain, and swiftly become the "glistening gems" that keep his spirit near and always in your hearts. May God bless and keep you all strong.

The beginning of his life was as a blank sheet of paper. It is apparent by the accomplishments he achieved throughout his life time filled the pages of that blank sheet with postive achievements and not everyone has such an opportunity to do so. May you be comforted with your fond memories. It's wonderful to read of Mr. Price's great legacy. It brings to mind the thought at Ecclesiastes 7:1 - he truly left behind a good name for himself.

Mr. Price was a true gentlemen..for a time he was my patient for home care..We would watch Oprah, one of Al's favorite shows....then my nursing visit would start. I want to express my sympathy to Mr. Price's family..I had met his son Gregory several times during my home visits,as they lived in the same apt. building before Mr. Price moved to The Laurels..Every picture, every piece of furniture..that he had..was proudly displayed...with a story from his travels as a Harlem Globetrotter..It was a privilege to know your father and to take care of him in his home as his nurse..
