I met Coach Price as a young sports announcer at WRAP Radio. Coach Price was on of the first person's I had the opportunity to interview. He was the best. He was always accessible and ready to talk to me about his Norfolk State Football team. We will miss this giant of a man. Price Dick you were the BEST!

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I met Mr. Price while attend NSU in 1977. He grew up with my family in the Lambert's point section of Norfolk. He saw me one day on campus and asked me was I a Perkins. I found him to be a very nice man. My prayers are with you.

It may seem that words can not express what you are going through at this moment. You will, no doubt have both good days and days that are difficult. God will see you through them all.

To The Prices:
May joyful memories of life as a family fill your hearts in the sunshine of the 'morrow. Your Mom and Dad were dear influences in our academic and medical related professions. Never as a student did I have a question or a problem that they were too busy to listen and advise. Thank you for sharing them with the NSU and Norfolk Community families.

Mere words cannot express the impact "Coach Price" had upon our lives, academically, professionally, and personally. His helpfulness, his guidance; his generousity, his mentoring, and his encouragement helped many of us find the courage to fulfill our dreams. He was certainly the model for this anonymous writing: "Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched". He truly touched so many and will be greatly missed. Peace and Blessings to his family.

Dear Lisa,
You know how close my family, especially my father--Judge Goss, was to Dick. Your father always thought that he was either my big brother or second daddy. I will truly miss him.

To Lisa & family:
Dick was very special to many people and he left an influence not only on the guys that he coached, but on almost everyone who knew him. He was a very dear family friend and I knew him all of my life and I count it a joy to have known a giant of a man. May he rest with Jesus. Be blessed.
