Born in Troy, Aug 15th, 1940, son of the late Francis and Helen Price, and husband of the late Elizabeth “Ann” Young Price who died 13 years ago.
A guy with a great sense of humor, Don always quipped that the Italian community in Mechanicville celebrated his birthday with fireworks.

A proud member and past Commander of Earl J. Manning Post 490 American Legion of Stillwater, he enjoyed gardening and cooking, and recently won the chili cook off the Legion held. Don’s sideline effort, “Price’s Portable Pits” business of barbecue and grilling for events was fun for all.
