Dad,
to me, you were always Superman, Batman & Robin, Spider man, John Wayne, sometimes you were the Green Goblin, we all have days like that though, you were my hero. You stood for so much, yet asked so little. You taught me that materialism is for fools and principles, beliefs and morals are the mightiest tools a person could possess, provided these tools are for betterment and not abused. You taught me to have faith and be faithful. You were my teacher, my mentor. When I was at my worst, you were understanding, did not belittle me the slightest. You smiled and without a hint of harshness reminded me that forgiveness and understanding are key ingredients to happiness. If I were in a battle to the end (metaphorically, of course) with one or more of my brothers or sisters, you never interfered directly, you always found a subtle and tactful approach to helping us find peace. I remember a time when I was at engineer training in Ft. Leonard wood, Mo., you decided you wanted to talk to me in the middle of the week, while I was in training, when you called the Marine barracks, they started giving you the run around. I was picked up by a jeep driven by my post commander (literally) and driven back to the barracks without explanation. This was a 20 minute ride that seemed like an eternity in length and silence. When I got to the barracks, I was ordered to report to the command office, upon entering, there were several Marines standing at attention, saluting. This was a very unusual activity for Marines, Marines do not salute indoors and there was no presence that commanded standing at attention. I was ordered to pick up the phone receiver, I announced myself, spoke briefly to a general who then informed me that someone would like to talk to me. Well dad, you certainly got your point across on that day. Of course we had a good laugh when I was home on leave, those Marines standing at attention saluting a phone was probably one of the funniest things I'd seen, of course not being able to just fall down laughing was a bit hard, just as it was holding in that laughter. Of course, thereafter (the phone call), I spent the next three days scrubbing floors with a toothbrush, I did it with a smile though, it's not often Marines are caught so thoroughly off guard. We had many good laughs over the years. I will certainly miss them.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to all my friends and family for coming to say their goodbye's , farewells, thoughts and prayers to and for you, dad.
A very special thank you to the soldiers from Ft. Bragg, thank you for your service to your Country and Countrymen, to the Lansing Veterans of the VFW and American Legion for their dedication and devotion to their fellow servicemen and women.
To Braden McKinley - you are family and will always be family, thank you for being there, dad would not have had it any other way, he had a great deal of respect for you.
Ben, Tasha, Sarah, Jeffrey, Lisa, Nathan, Lillian, Leanna, Joshua and Mya and of course Sherry, you have been at my side, unfaltering and never once hesitated when needed.
Silvia, Miro, Akasha, Mira and Jana - I couldn't ask for a better sister, a more understanding brother – in law and I certainly have some great nieces, thanks for everything.
Cindy and Manuel – I am hopeful the next time we meet up, it is under better circumstances, get that PC fixed so we can talk, it was nice to see you after so long, I know Nathan and Austin wanted to be there.
James, Allen and Terry – you guys are the best and James, whether in the kitchen or in the field, you're a pretty darn good chef – the on-site gourmet lunch buffet was the best and I know how difficult it was for you to put all that together. We're going to have to have a cook off some day – you, me and Miro, what do you think.
Johnny and Carrie – don't even think your last, you guys are blessed, hope to see you soon. Oh, Johnny, the next game of chess will be quite a challenge for you. Get some practice.
To all of our friends and family in Germany – Eva, Adolph, Christina, Uwe, Uncle Alfred, Tante Almida, Uncle Adolph and everybody I did not name, thank you so much for your thoughts.
To all of dad's friends and neighbors – I miss him and I know you will as well. Thank you for your thought's and prayers
Finally – Uncle Bobby and Billy, you are the best and God bless you both, we love and miss you and hope to see you soon. A very special thanks to Aunt Ruth, we all appreciate every thing you are doing for Bobby and Billy. You have our deepest respect and admiration.
Farewell Dad, we all love and miss you, we'll not forget you. I'll see you, Mutti and Timmy again,...
your son Randy

I met Gene & his wife, "Wanda " nearly a year ago when they came here over the loss of his son "Timmy. It was also a time when I met his whole family as they gathered here at Proud Annie in Jonesborough TN.
I respected Gene especially for his US Army career and his Vietnam service to our country. It is his son James who first became our chef here, and later my very best friend that I have met the Price family and have learned to love each of them for their goodness of heart, and caring for others.
I was so pleased to hear from James that Gene had asked for a priest and has reconciled a lost relationship with our Lord.
May God's angels guide him to His heavenly kingdom, may perpetual light shine upon him and may he be granted eternal peace.
Amen.

Growing up as an Army “brat� was not always easy. We traveled a lot from the US to Germany back and forth multiple times. Sometimes we even had to move in the middle of a school year and end in another. We also experienced multiple situations that were a difficult path for him. His military life also took its’ toll, being away from his family for long periods, whether by being sent to Vietnam or Korea and all the other times he was ordered to take up a new base somewhere and had to go alone. This was very difficult for us children to understand and caused some hardship on establishing a real “home� or being close to aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. So, sometimes it’s still hard for me to say where I’m from, so I guess I’m just “international�! That being said, I’m still proud to be able to say my Dad is the son of Paul and Irene Price of Creston, NC.
All of this did do one thing for me in the end. It woke in me the desire to find out more about my kins and keep me close to my roots in both directions and then awakened my senses for family history research. The one side from my mother being the “European� family roots coming from German ancestors that migrated into Bessarabia, now known as Moldavia and the other also at one point in time coming from England merging somewhere in between into the native Indian tribe of the Cherokee. Here in our heritage we find links to Daniel Boone’s sister and Col. Gideon Lewis. My father was my biggest asset when I first began researching and because he took the time to introduce me to his aunts, uncles and cousins I got a lot of first hand information that helped me connect now over 6000 people in my family tree. Many times I had the opportunity to meet some of these families connected to ours and I have him to thank for that and will also miss him, because he knew everyone and everyone knew him. Family Reunions will just not be the same without him here to guide me.
Although his separation from our mother was a tragedy in itself and caused much grief at the time, I’m happy for him that he found a new life with Wanda and her family. They became his new family. I know he was happy with them and he was loved by them. I know he enjoyed his days in his home in Lansing with them and all his friends until the very end. There was nowhere else he rather would have been. Thank everyone for being a part of his life, he enjoyed everyone so much. Without him, I would not be and my children would not be, so I too am grateful and he will live on in my heart and in our family legacy. I have no doubts that one day I will see him again. Love Silvia

I'll never forget my pop-pop as long as I live. He may not have been blood, but he never treated me any different. I'll never forget all of the memories we have created over the years, especially when he gave me away on my wedding day. Pop-pop, I will love you forever. I will think of you often. I will miss you every single day that I am alive. I will see you again someday - you can bet on that.

Wenn ein Mensch fortgegangen ist, bleiben wir zurück mit dem Schmerz darüber, dass auch auf den schönsten Sommer ein Herbst folgt, dass auch der glücklichste Tag einen Abend hat, und selbst die bezauberndste Melodie irgendwann verklingt. Als Trost bleibt uns nur die Gewissheit, dass auch dieser Schmerz vergänglich ist wie der Winter, die Nacht und die Stille. Nur unsere Erinnerung, unsere Sehnsucht und unsere Liebe sind unsterblich.
Es ist sehr, sehr lange her als ich Onkel Gene das letzte Mal sah. Dennoch habe und werde ich ihn nie vergessen.
Christine mit Familie

Ich kannte Gene kaum, aber ich möchte Euch meine
Erinnerungen an Ihn erzählen. Die erste stammt aus meiner frühen
Kindheit, ich denke ich war im Kindergartenalter, da war er einmal zu
Besuch und ich durfte mit Ihm toben und auf seinen Schultern
herumklettern. Die zweite Erinnerung ist von 1995, als ich an der
Westküste der USA unterwegs war habe ich Ihn einmal angerufen. Er hat
mich sofort eingeladen vorbei zu kommen. Leider war das damals für mich nicht
möglich.

Gene was a wonderful friend and neighbor. He helped my husband and I with so many things when we were building our house and we enjoyed getting to know him. He had a great sense of humor and always made me smile. We will miss him so much. Prayers and thoughts are with your family.
