Gordon B. Price Jr., 76, of Ocean View, Delaware, went home to be with the Lord on June 13.  Gordon was born in Baltimore, MD, to G. Brent Price Sr. and Claudine (Nagle) Price. They later moved to Western Maryland. His childhood was filled with adventures on the farm and pancake eating contests with his cousins. He graduated from the University of Maryland. Go Terps!

He met his wife Shirley in Bethany Beach, Delaware, on his summer job as a milkman to area businesses from the Koontz dairy in western Maryland. They married during a freak snowstorm on March 1, 1969. He worked in construction, building and remodeling homes in Coastal Sussex and later owned a landscaping business.

Gordon is predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his lovely wife and devoted care giver Shirley, his two daughters Michele McCoy of Phoenix, AZ, and Melissa Dittman (Matthew) of Gassaway, WV. He was the beloved brother to sister Kathy Montgomery of Falling Waters, WV.  Gordon was blessed with grandchildren, Connor, Devin and Aurelia McCoy of Phoenix AZ and Brent Dittman (Savannah) and Elizabeth Arbogast (Dusty) of Gassaway WV. He was delighted and enamored by his 2 great grandsons, Roman and Ryker Dittman. Gordon was beloved by his many nieces and nephews. His two sisters-in-law would be the first to admit to his strength and love, as the only brother-in-law to survive the hazing.

Gordon loved the outdoors, and was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was passionate about gardening. He was a lifelong fan of Baltimore sports teams: Orioles and Ravens and never liked that the Colts owners kidnapped the team to Indianapolis. Gordon was well known for his ability to turn a phrase, lovingly called Gordonisms such as: you will have that on these big jobs, you were never alright since you were half left, and responding I am fair to middlin when asked how he was.

He was an active member of High Tide Church serving in many leadership roles. He believed if you could help your neighbor, you should. He was a member of the Roxana Auxiliary and the Selbyville Elks.

Services will be held at Melson's Funeral Home on Muddy Neck Road in Ocean View, on Monday, June 26, at 2 pm with visitation from 12 -2 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to High Tide Church Food Pantry, PO Box 127, Dagsboro, DE 19939, or the Church Building Fund at the same address, causes Gordon poured his heart and soul into supporting.
