Ronald Carlos Price was born in Glendale on Jan. 2, 1945, and passed away from heart failure on Feb. 19. Ronald went to Clark Junior High School, then graduated from Glendale High School in 1962. He studied architecture at Glendale Community College and worked for the La Crescenta Post Office. He “fell in love at first sight” with Phyllis Hackney when they were just 19. They were married one year later. He was fun-loving, always jovial and fun to be around. Almost five years after their marriage, their daughter Ronda was born. Ronald advanced to postal supervisor just before their second daughter, Kellie, was born. After he bought his ’68 yellow Corvette, their family was complete.
Ronald loved racquetball, baseball, golf, poker, snow and water skiing, camping and fishing. After 38 years at the post office he enjoyed visiting tropical destinations. Ronald is survived by Ronda and Darren DeSantis, Kellie and Chad DeVries, four grandchildren, his wife, Phyllis, his sister Sandi, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A celebration of his life will be held at Kellie’s home on Sunday, March 19, from noon-5 p.m. For more information, call (818) 395-9608.
