    My Condolences to the family. I Met PJ on a basketball court somewhere in Portsmouth/Norfolk. We talked trash rite off the bat. We worked at NNS briefly when he got caught up in The RIF. He went back to NNSY and I joined him back in 2002.We worked hand and hand for a while in The Nuclear Fab Shop and back on a DE-ACT boat .They hated to put us together we were Very Loud , but we clicked and made All the jobs Go Away. He Pulled Me Under his Nuclear Wings as a Lil-Brother and Mentored me . Thanks My Loud Big Brother. I will represent myself with The Pride in which you instilled in me. I’m gonna miss talking trash about ACC vs.SEC REST EASY BIG BRUH.

    Extending my condolences to the family of PJ. Price. Please know that God will see you through this most difficult time. I also shared many conversations with PJ in Shop 56 admin office. Once I retired, I was able to still see him coming in the hospital. I didn’t just check him in, I would go back and check on him after his test. As always, we share moments about the shipyard. I have no doubt, that the memories of PJ will always live in many of our hearts. He was just that kind of a guy. He had a likeable spirit. Gone but not forgotten.

May He rest in the MIGHTY Arms of Jesus and my his family be comforted by His God. We at First Baptist Church, Lamberts Point, will surely miss him, his hearty handshake. his smile, and his kind words. See you in the morning, Brother Price.
