Our dear classmate Bob Price, affectionately known as "Albert," passed away following an accident in which he was hit while riding his motorcycle.
He joined our class in sixth grade and was one of two in our class named Bob Price, the other being Robert A. Price.
He was in the Debate Club and French Club during his sophomore year and in the Ski Club during his sophomore and junior years.
Here are excerpts from Bob's obituary, which appeared in the Springfield Union-News newspaper:
Robert M. Price, II, 49, of Oakwood Drive, SW, Supply, N.C., died Wednesday, May 2, 2001 in Brunswick Community Hospital.
Born in Springfield, Mass. on March 9, 1952, he was the son of Marguerite "Peggy" Price of Mass., and the late Robert M. Price Sr.
Mr. Price was employed with Nabor Dodge in sales. He was preceded in death by his father and a brother, Richard Price.
Survivors in addition to his mother are his wife, Mary K. Price; a daughter, Caitlin "Katy" Price, at home; three brothers, Michael Price and his wife, Maureen, and Greg Price, all of Massachusetts; and Jonathon Price of California; a sister, Cheryl Rich and her husband, Michael of Vermont; and several nieces and nephews.
