Herbert Wilson Price, Jr., 89

Herbert Wilson Price, Jr., 89, of Milford, Del. passed away Tuesday, February 23, 2010. He worked in corporate real estate for several major oil companies (Esso, Atlantic and ARCO) and lived in many cities all across Virginia (Salem, Roanoke, Virginia Beach and, last but not least, Alexandria) where Bill and Helen finally settled for 30-plus years.  He was an active member and officer in the Fort Hunt Sportsman’s Association during the 1960s, '70s and '80s raising money for local youth sports. Upon retirement, he moved back to Delaware where they enjoyed a very full retirement with friends and family. One of the activities that filled their retirement was attending Blue Hen football games, both home and away, with their fellow UD fans. 

Price is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 63 years, Helen; his daughter, Carole Price White and husband Tony White of Oregon; daughter, Marie Price Corbin of Texas; and grandson, Kyle Corbin of Texas.  
A memorial service is set for Saturday, Mar. 20, 2010 at 11 a.m. at the chapel of Melson Funeral Services, 38040 Muddy Neck Rd, Ocean View, DE 19970, where friends may call after 10 a.m. Burial will be private. Price would be honored if you wanted to make a donation to your local chapter of one of his favorite causes: Easter Seals, March of Dimes or the American Heart Association.
