Price, a member of the faculty for more than 20 years. Lake-Lehman teachers and stu- dents lost more than a teacher, they lost a friend and a confidante. The teachers admired Price for his quiet friendliness and his intelligence. “He was a typical, caring, respon- sible individual,” said assistant high school principal, Robert Roberts. “He came in quietly, did his work and sought nothing in return but the satisfaction he received from helping others.” / Joseph Price was a father image to many of the students, especially those students, boys and girls, who couldn't confide in anyone at home but knew they could discuss their problems with him; problems he would never reveal to anyone on the outside. He counseled many of his stu- dents who grew up to become fine young men and women who are raising families of their own today. Young people and baseball were his two loves, children first, then the sport of baseball. While in high school he was an all-scholastic catcher for St. Vincent's High School and a mem- ber of St. Vincent's state champion- ship team in 1956. He was a former baseball coach at Lake-Lehman and until he was admitted to the hospi- tal in October, Joseph Price was a dedicated member of the Back Mountain's Teeners League. Joseph Price was an exception- ally intelligent man. He had an unusual memory and no one ever asked him a question he couldn't answer. He was an individual who loved to play ‘mind’ games whether with young people or with fellow teachers. The love and respect his students had for him were evidenced Monday at his funeral services when nearly 100 students stood outside in the bitter cold to pay their final tribute to the man they loved-Joseph Price. Price, 49, resident of Mountain View Drive, Lehman died Friday, December 9 at Wilkes-Barre Gen- eral Hospital. He was born July 28, 1939, in Plymouth, son of the late John C. and Mary Price, and was a member of St. Vincent's Church, Plymouth. He was a graduate of St. Vincent's High School, Class of 1956, and a graduate of King's College where he received his B.A. degree in Spanish and English. He also received a master’s degree in English. He was a former coach of basket- ball and baseball at St. Vincent's and a former member and past offi- cer of the Plymouth Teeners League and a coach for the Lettermen’s Club baseball team in Plymouth. He also managed and coached the Shawnee Indians Central League baseball team and managed the Plymouth Twilight baseball team. Mr. Price was active in the Back Mountain Teeners League. He is survived by a son, Joseph Richard, Wilkes-Barre. Funeral services were held Mon- day from the S.J. Grontkowski Funeral Home with a Mass of Chris- tian Burial in St. Vincent DePaul Church, Plymouth. Interment was in the parish cemetery, Larksville.
