I appreciate the kind works, gentlemen, as do my family. He was buried today at the DFW National Cemetery with full military honors. The Marine Corps Honor Guard that took care of him were top notch. I was all right right up until they played Taps, then I lost it. We even had a T-6 flyover, something that my entire family really appreciated. We tried to get the CAF to do a flyover with the Corsair that he flew for so many years but they couldn't make the arrangements.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, so inrigued by the obituary and the picture submitted, will be doing an article about him. It's supposed to be in the paper tomorrow.
If any of you gentlemen are in the area, I'd advise checking out the DFW National Cemetery. It's a very nice place, and a fitting resting place for many veterans. If you wish to pay respects to Col. Price, he is in Plot 13, Marker 511. The nice part about that is, No. 13 was the Corsair he flew in the CAF.
One of the things he always told me was that there's no such thing as a "retired" Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Good bye, Pawpaw. I will miss you terribly.
