Rick had a big heart for his students and their families. I worked with him as a counselor at Carmel. He changed a lot of people with his kindness and his belief in a person's potential. RIP Rick.

Attended West High School with Ricky back in the 60's - he was one hell of a guy. Always happy, smiling, and greeting everyone. Terrific guy. So sad to see he has passed on.

This is really sad. I went to Carmel middle school, Mr price was always trying to get me out of trouble and keep me on the right direction. He definitely had the most impact.
I remember bumping into him at the book store few years ago, (he still remembered me) but he wanted to catch up. People like him you will always remember he was such a great man. I´m sorry for your loss. :(

Prayers for the family. Mr. Price was my middle school principal (Carmel Middle School). He was always a very kind man and passionate about education. He always let me know that he has high expectations. I´m grateful that he allowed God to use him in the lives of young people. He was a father figure to many of us . I pray that he is resting with Jesus.
