Son of Thurman Pinckney Price and Minta Fern (Ballinger) Price. Brother of Leota DeJaynes, Bernita Hutchinson, Stella Rowe, and Ruby Barnes.
Husband of Helene Virginia Oliphant Harrison, father of Kathleen (Price) Barge, Donald Price, Lloyd Price, and step-father of Tracy (Harrison/Price) Howard. Grandfather of Doug, Todd and Tanya Barge, children of Kathleen and Richard Barge; Brandon and Bryan Price, children of Donald and Linda (Rhodus); Stacey, Marcus and Chelsi Price, children of Lloyd and Jo Ann (Cunningham), and Great-Grandfather of twelve.
He was a Corporal in the U. S. Army during World War II, and fought in the Phillipines. There he contracted malaria, a malady which he fought for several years after returning home from the war.
In 1947, he married Helene Virginia (Oliphant) Harrison, a widow with a 3-year old daughter.
Immediately after his marriage, he went to work for Helene's parents, Lloyd and Bernice (Rogers) Oliphant, at Pine River Lodge in Bayfield on the Vallecito Reservoir (near Durango, Colorado), and remained there until he was hired by Conoco in 1948 in Denver.
He attended Golden High School, prior to enlisting in the Army, and after being employed by Conoco, took night courses at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School in Denver to become a welder.
He worked as a Pipefitter-Welder for about 27 years, and later as a member of the rail pumping team for about three years at the Conoco Refinery in Commercetown (now Commerce City), Colorado, prior to his disability retirement in about 1980. He was a member of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union.
He loved to fish and hunt, or any kind of activity that involved horses - especially roping and cutting. He loved teaching his children and grandchildren -- or anyone else who would stand still long enough -- about horses and horsemanship, how to ride or how to drive a buggy. We all spent many happy hours riding at the ranch south of Brighton, and on trail rides throughout Colorado.
As an avid horseman, he also belonged to several riding clubs in Brighton and Adams County, and spent many hours among his animals, and with his friends trading stories, mostly about horses and the "big one that got away," whether it be a trout or an elk.
He was a founding member of the Goode Centennial Methodist Church in Commerce City, and remained a member while he lived there and when the family moved to Westminster.
Following their move to the ranch south of Brighton, he was a member of Henderson Congregational Church, and his funeral service was held there, officiated by Rev. Timothy Merrill. During his funeral service, Rev. Merrill quipped, "I learned more about horses from Bud than I ever wanted or needed to know." Rev. Merrill must have stood still long enough.
