Hi All - Dr. Price was integral part of the fabric of McLean. If anyone happened to be born with some challenged teeth, you were in luck! I witnessed first hand what a fun experience going to the orthodontist could be (crazy, right?). The music, the fantastic staff, and, of course, the fun chats with Dr. Price catching up on all the happenings of McLean. When visiting McLean and passing by his old office, I always break into a smile (with better teeth of course!). Dr. Price was such a joy to be around. He was a wonderful family man and I always enjoyed a home visit. Blessings to the Price family for giving all of us such great pleasure being in the presence of Dr. Price. Wishing everyone peace in this challenging time. Love to all! - Kevin Keenan

Lois, our sincerest condolences on the passing of Charlie. Though we lost touch over the years, I had very fond memories and the greatest respect for Charlie. His quiet sense of humor, intellect, and ability set a high standard for me and our classmates at HUCD Orthodontics.
Charlie will be missed by all knew him.
May he rest in peace.
