Truly a great man. Had a profound impact on me when i was in high school. Was one of the only people to care about everyone and anyone. I miss him a lot. I loved him because he made me feel important and wish i was able to see him again.

My dad was my hero. There was and never will be anyone else like him, and I want to do what he did when it came to helping others. I love him with all of my heart and will always cite him as the man who made me who I am today and will become in the future.

I’m going to make you proud dad, I love you.

Let’s play some Fallout when we see each other again yeah?

I had the pleasure of working with Craig years ago, a true Gentleman, honest, considerate of others,, lived his life with honor . 
RIP Craig, you lived your life well !  God bless 

Craig and I were very close in high school.  I always trusted Craig, and never heard him complain nor say anything bad about anyone.  He was such a great support and positive influence on me. I'll miss you, Craig, but look forward to our reunion on the other side.

I had the privilege of having Mr. Price as my GMO  teacher in high school. He was my absolute favorite. I ended up with his number the day I graduated and he told me if I ever needed to talk or just have a cup of coffee one day, he was only a phone call away. I had always thought about calling him so he could meet my children and he'd know that I made something of myself. I deeply regret not calling. He was a fantastic teacher that always  took the time for anyone and everyone. He will be deeply missed. 
May God's eternal light forever shine upon you. RIP Mr. Price

My deepest condolences. The Price kids and Roan kids grew up together with 2 mothers and 2 fathers. We could not get away with anything, but we sure tried. May god bless and keep you in this time of loss. Hey Craig, rest in peace and keep the light on for those of us coming home later. Love from the Roan family

I ended up being the very last student that Mr. Price worked with to graduate. I got the pleasure of his company at 10:00 every night the week of graduation. Without his  late nights and confidence, I wouldn't have graduated.I was the very last student he helped pass the DAY BEFORE graduation, and it was possibly the most enjoyable time of my senior "class time". I got to enjoy listening to him talk about his son, and family. I got to listen to his stories about how his career life started out. I got the stories of how many suits he had to buy before his tough employer was satisfied. Or how proud he was with his Mont Blanc pen. I got to make him coffee with his 4 packs of sugar and two gigantic pumps of creamer, while he passed my credits. I will never forget how dedicated he was to making sure that my life went as well as it had the possibility to. HE gave me my diploma. And in no way will I ever be able to repay him for that, but in every way am I thankful. My condolences to his family. May your mind be peaceful during this struggle.

My condolences to Craig's family.  May Craig have eternal rest and God's perpetual light shine upon him.
 God bless

Craig Price would give the shirt off his back to someone who needed it. Although that is an often used cliche, he truly lived it. As a teacher and, most recently, the At Risk Coordinator at O'Connor HS he touched countless lives teaching downtrodden students, who had experienced lack of success academically and in life, with his heartfelt and urgent success advice. He encouraged them to think for themselves, to employ learning methods that work, and take control of their own destiny. As my friend, he was loyal to a fault with consistent words of encouragement and empowerment. He believed in me most in my darkest moments of self doubt. I'll never forget you and will always treasure our get togethers to "de-compress". Craig - my good friend, whom I will miss deeply, until we meet again, I say, "So long."

Prayers go out to Craig's family especially sweet Ms Shirley. I know you will rely on your faith to get you through, as you always have. You are a strong woman not only because of that faith, but also because of your family and friends.   Love You!

I am deeply saddened by the the loss of Craig. My thoughts & prayers are with Craig's Family during this painful time. I pray that with time you will find peace & comfort. Craig will be missed at O'Connor HS. Jeanette Mather (OHS Nurse)

Peace and Love sent to all mourning Craig Price's unexpected death.  As a friend and colleague, I'm filled with wonder at this time...wonder how our campus family will continue to function without his dedication to his students, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and humorous side bars.  A unique, caring and sincere individual.  Comfort and blessings to all.

I have too many things to say, in highschool as a senior and first year at O'Connor I found out that not all teachers chose their path, I believe Price was born to make sure people had good lives by giving all his knowledge to us, Price was not just a teacher he was passionate about what he did, even people that I wouldn't give the chance he would, because he knew the importance of college and helping us all from the best to the worst of children he made sure he was there for everyone! He listened to us and became literally my best friend there! Mr. Price will forever be missed and loved, RIP to one of the greatest people born. 
Prayers and love to this great mans son and family

Craig always wanted his students to believe and have hope they could suceed with determination and effort.  He was dedicated to helping struggling students during the year.  He was always willing to assist me with any questions  for several years during our summer programs. He is a reminder to all of us to always give students hope that they can succeed. My prayers are with his family and friends.

My prayers go out to Shirley, and Craig's son. Craig was a wonderful Teacher, and good friend. May he rest in peace.

My most heartfelt condolences extended to the family and dearest friends of Craig Price.  Craig was passionate about his work, whether at Builder Square or O'Connor High School.  I will miss sharing stories with him.  He was a colleague and friend, and will be deeply missed!

May peace and comfort be with those mourning the sudden loss of Craig Price.
