He retired from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at Weeks Island, and was a devout Catholic, praying his rosary every day for his children and grandchildren. Mr. Price loved deer hunting and going on hunting excursions with his son, son-in-law, and grandsons. He also enjoyed Sunday dinners, family gatherings, taking caring of his lawn and his Dodge Ram truck, and watching football, especially the Saints and Patriots. After retirement, he discovered a hidden talent in carpentry, making rustic furniture from pallets. All of which is now gracing the homes of family and friends. Special thanks to Jeff Robin at B&L Supply for supplying all the pallets. Ronald and Genevieve would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on September 2nd. Survivors include his wife of nearly 50 years, Genevieve Romero Price of New Iberia; daughter, Ronda Landry and husband Fred of New Iberia; son, Carroll Price and wife Jennifer of Houston, Texas; brothers, James "Jimmy" Price of Conway, MA, Jerry Price of Conway, MA; sisters, Linda Baker and husband Bruce of Greenfield, MA, Carol Janes of Keene, NH; grandchildren, Brennan Price, Matthew Landry, Joshua Landry, Bailey Price, Aaron Landry, Brandon Price, and Abigail Landry. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Ervin Price, Jr., Dennis Price; mother-in-law, Addie B. Romero; father-in-law, Edward Romero; brothers-in-law, Carroll J. Mestayer and Murphy Romero. Pallbearers include Carroll Price, Brennan Price, Matthew Landry, Joshua Landry, Aaron Landry, and Brandon Price. Honorary pallbearer will be Fred Landry. The family would like to give special thanks to Ernie and Jan Romero, and to the Stockstills for the many wonderful hunting trips to their camps, and to Wade Mestayer for recently remounting Ron's 1972 record breaking Buck. It made him so proud to finally see that deer the way it should have been. Pellerin Funeral Home, 502 Jefferson Terrace Blvd., New Iberia, LA 70560, 337.365.3331 in charge of arrangements.
