Frank Price Obituary
He was studio chief at Columbia and Universal during the 1980s. He gave the greenlight to pop culture blockbusters like "Ghostbusters," "The Karate Kid," and "Back to the Future," as well as acclaimed Oscar-winners "Ghandi" and "Out of Africa."
Price is being remembered for his talent-focused approach as an executive. He was willing to pay top dollar to writers and directors in pursuit of box office success.

My deepest condolences to the Price family. I had only met Frank a few times at Mt. Gulian with the NYSOC, but he was very pleasant to speak with, a good man. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. Losing a loved one can bring pain and sorrow. That is why in the near future, our Heavenly Father will do away with death and all pain and sorrow. This shows that God knows our pain and is there to give us comfort. May God be with your family.
