We were sorry to hear about Mr. Price’s death. We both worked at Dry Goods on Market St. and remember Mr. Price fondly. He was a good man & a good supervisor. He and Mr. Scarlott were our two favorite bosses.

Nancy and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Thom’s Mom (my Aunt Helen) was my grandmother’s sister and I have very fond memories of Thom when I was younger and he often would visit with my Mom (Eleanor) and I remember when he and his brother lived with us for a short time when I was a little girl. I feel so bad that we lost touch over the years. Please know that you are all in my prayers.
