A. G. Price

A. G. Price
'Buck'
Mr. Price, 80, local retired plumber, died Tuesday, August 24, 2004 at his residence on John Price Road, Charlotte. Born December 12, 1923, Buck Price was the youngest of eight children born to the late John Price and Margaret Alice Potts Price. Owner of his own plumbing company, A. G. Price Plumbing, Buck Price had been involved in the plumbing industry since the 1950s. The influence, knowledge, and training that he passed on is felt and seen daily in several dozen successful Charlotte plumbing companies.
Raised on a dairy farm in the Steele Creek community, Buck graduated from Berryhill High School in Charlotte. He was a lifelong member of Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and a friend to many. Besides spending time with Ms. Jean, his life mate of 58 years, Buck's happiest moments were when he worked with his hands, whether that involved plumbing, restoring antique cars, or bringing old tractors back to life. If it had a motor or needed fixing, Buck Price could do it.
As the Master Plumber at Price Brothers Plumbing Co., Inc., Buck was often seen drinking coffee, sending off work trucks, offering words of advice to anyone willing to hear, and more often than not, sharing a joke and bending an ear with one of his tales. Tinkering around in his shop, feeling comfortable telling us all 'one more thing,' enjoying a good tomato sandwich, and spending time with his very close friend Duck made for a good day. Daddy Buck's sense of humor, experienced wisdom, twinkling eyes and steadfast love will be greatly missed.
A. G. Price is survived by his beloved wife, Mrs. Jean Dennis Price; son, Bob Price and wife, Tamea, of Lake Wylie, SC; son, Steve Price and his wife, Cindy, of Charlotte; daughter, Gaye Price Koster and husband, Keith, of Fort Mill, SC. Buck was especially proud to have been blessed with eight grandchildren, Matt Price, Brad Price, Will Price, J. T. Price and Jenny Price, all of Lake Wylie, SC, Garret Koster, Krista Koster, and Jenna Koster, all of Fort Mill, SC.
The family will receive friends Thursday evening, August 26, from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM at Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church. The celebration of life for Buck will be held at Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church of Charlotte on Friday, August 27, at 10:00 AM. The body will lie in state 30 minutes prior to the service. The services will be conducted by the Dr. Rev. Jim Young. A graveside service will follow at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church of Charlotte. Pallbearers will be Matt Price, Brad Price, Will Price, J. T. Price, Garrett Koster, and Robby Price.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church family Life Center, 9401 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28110.
