My condolences and prayers to the family. I was so heart broken to hear that Mr. Al transition but glad that he’s not suffering. I was Al’s supervisor for a while until I recently retired. I loved Mr. Al, he was one of my favorite employees. Mr. Al, used to give me a fit because we had a certain timeframe to get cases done and he would take his time and was not going to be rushed by anyone. He was very meticulous and made sure that everything was done right. One thing for sure, once he finished with the case it was right and it needed no corrections. He knew his job and did it well. We would talk for hours and most of the time he would just listen. He was a great listener, very quiet spoken and a big heart. He was a dedicated OCREO employee. I am going to miss you Al, but will see you again. Rest Well My Friend

Re: Al Price A friend who shared, a friend who cared, a friend so kind who spoke his mind, a man I loved and respected. He carried the Lord in his heart before he part and I have no doubt he was accepted. I thank God for so many years of a beautiful friendship with Al. My condolences to his dear brother and the entire family of Al Price. May the pleasant memories of Al linger on our hearts and bring comfort to all. Psalms 145: Verse 18 – 19—The Lord is near to all those that call upon him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfils the desires of those who fear (reverence) him; He hears their cry and saves them. Matthew 5: Verse 4 – Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. May the peace of the Lord surround Al’s family today and all who mourns the loss of this man that was so special.
