Granddad Price - February 27, 2014

My Granddad Price passed away this week at age 88.  It is hard to be a part of the activities from a long distance.  They asked us to look for pictures of Granddad and that was something I was able to do to help.  These are some of the favorites I found.

August 1988 - My mom says this is one of her favorite photos from this age.  I don't remember anything about this adventure except for the photo. I was 10 years old.

1989 formal photo - Granddad still has dark hair!

2001 - Granddad refers to Grandma as his "bride". They reached 66 anniversaries and she is still his bride.

2010 - this was taken at the Idaho Falls temple after the wedding of my cousins Cody & Lisa Castellaw. G&G often held hands as they walked places.

September 11, 2011 - Granddad and his #66 great-grand child - Lincoln is 2 days old. I'm glad Lincoln and Granddad were able to spend a little time together on this side of the veil.

February 25, 2012 - 64th wedding anniversary. Lots of family gathered at a Chinese Restaurant for dinner to celebrate. (Lincoln is 5 months old)  Granddad preferred buffet style restaurants such as Golden Corral or Norths Chuckwagon. So the Chinese buffet was a little bit of variety.

August 5, 2012 - Price Family Reunion at Brighton Resort - couldn't tell you the names of the great-grandkids based on the back of their heads.  Granddad never hesitated to ask any question or share any advice.

August 13, 2012 - At the Wunderli Family Reunion in West Valley City. (Lincoln is 11 months old)  Granddad supported all family functions - this was a gathering of Grandma's extended family, but he made the effort to attend as many family events as possible.

September 2, 2013 - At G&G's home in Plain City. (Lincoln is two in a week.) This was on our way to Alaska. We stayed one night and borrowed tools to fix the wiring on our truck. Granddad had a garage full of tools and was generous in letting us use what we needed.
