Not sure what to say?

Dick was a wonderful, caring man.

We are saddened to hear of Dick's passing. So many memories of golf in the northwest and tourneys. He was one of my great partners and competitors. No one could beat us and we loved it. Our boys caddied for us and hopefully, we were good role models in life and golf. My buddies are "dropping in my row" these days and I must cherish the good times we had. Hit em long and straight Dick!!!

I knew Dick while in R A Long high school. He was two years ahead of me and I was not into golf. However, that changed after college at the U of W and I took the game up during my early years with Kaiser Aluminum. Latter I spent most of my career with Reynolds at overseas location and did not get to play much.
However, on my trips home to see mom and dad I would get mom to call one of her friends and get me a tee time at the Country. One day when I was visiting they put me with a...

I just happened to stumble upon this guest book for Mr. Price and read the amazing story of the others who wrote. I met Dick in 1997 or so and I played on a local golf team. I remember going out to the golf course and watching him hit balls in the corner. (The old man) hitting golf balls like a machine.

I worked for Dick for a number of years and spent a great deal of time...

Sally, Sharon, Sylvia:
I am really sorry to hear of Dicks
Passing. I first heard through my sister Mary today January 18th. I have always felt that it was unfortunate that we as cousins had not seen or able to visit each other over these many years. We will always remembered Dick as a champion golfer and his contribution to the game of golf.
My wife Roxann and I will keep you in our prayers.
God bless.

Dick was a personal friend that I had the opportunity to play both golf and basketball, and he will forever
be in my memories and my Prayers.

I began caddying at the Longview Country Club in the early '50's, and soon thereafter golf became a passion. One of my true heroes growing up in those days was Dick Price. He was an unbelievable role model for all of us at the Country Club, whether a caddie or junior member. He was our Arnold Palmer, swashbuckling, cool, daring, and fearless. He always looked like a million bucks. When he took out his brassie (two wood) and hit a screaming tee shot, it was a thing of beauty and sounded...
