Carter Price(1933 - 2016)
1933 - 2016
Carter Price joined his Lord and Savior on 4 November, 2016. Beloved husband to Lou Ann, loving father to Juliana and Ginger Price, Angela Price Rubin, and son-in-law Steve Rubin, and Grandfather to William (RIP), Kathleen, and Alex Rubin.

Carter Price entered this life on 21 January 1933 in Navarro County, Texas. He was the son of Dorothea Carter Price, and William Sidney (W.S.) Price, and brother to William Sidney (Bill) Price Jr. and Harry Hemphill Price.

He attended school in Kerens, Texas where he met his future bride Lou Ann Horn. They married in 1952, and made their first home in College Station, Texas. They were married almost 64 years.

Price graduated from Texas A&M University in 1954. He was a lieutenant in the US Army Transportation Corps at Fort Eustis, Virginia. Returning to A&M, Price earned a Master's Degree in 1959. He received his Ph.D. in 1964 from LSU: Doctor of Philosophy in Agricultural Economics. Ultimately Price became a tenured research professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Arkansas.

While still at U of A, he was recruited by USAID to travel, live and teach as part of an elite agricultural advisory team formed to advise foreign countries from the Philippines to Egypt to Bulgaria and Bolivia.

Wherever he went, people loved him. His sense of humanity's need for equality, justice, and inclusiveness recognized no borders.

Ultimately Fayetteville, Arkansas became home: the place to raise their 3 daughters. He taught Sunday School, Training Union and was involved in every aspect of his daughter's lives.

He was the Daddy and Papa that everyone loved: a great storyteller at the sleepover who made an amazing breakfast the next morning. Carter and Lou Ann wanted to be active, influential grandparents to their grandchildren so they moved to San Antonio in 1996. They joined Trinity Baptist Church there, and the fellowship became a very important part of their lives, and a great blessing.

Carter Price walked the walk: he taught by example that to turn the other cheek was the right way. He loved, and he forgave. His spiritual legacy and the love lives on.

The Celebration of Carter Price's life will be held: 10am, Saturday, 26th November 2016, in the small Chapel at Trinity Baptist Church, 319 East Mulberry Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78212

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Amen.
