Worked for Harvey once at Oconee and really liked him and his old timer stories.  Despite his awesome old timer stories he didn't seem that old.   Sorry he is gone.

This is a tough day for the thousands who knew Harvey Price. He had a heart of gold. I love you, man... Go to heaven a shoutin'! When someone passes away so unexpectedly, I always think of certain fun memories and music... For Harvey, it was that smile! Our craziest memory was the late night York County Sheriff License Check we came upon. I dug through my handbag and found a Hall's cough drop and shoved it in his mouth before the officer reached his window. Whew, we were crazy lucky that night. The Hall's cough drop trick was an oldie. Harvey wasn't aware of this trick to mask the smell of alcohol. As soon as the officer let us go, Harvey was cursing me because it tasted horrible and he was cheering me for being so slick. After that lucky night, he nicknamed me, "City Girl." The music that comes to mind is, "Go Rest High On That Mountain", "The Dance", "You Should Be Here" and "Die a Happy Man." Please, watch over us my good friend. I hope to see you again one fine day. God got a great guy. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  - John 14:27

I talked to Harvy Tuesday morning for about  30 minutes,he told me I did'nt know a damn about farming,and he was right.Told me my bermuda grass would be up in 2 weeks, he told me how to plant it last year.This guy would help anybody,fishing,farming,raising cows.I was walking out the door,and he said,having a big cookout at my place soon.Said I be there. Gone the next day.He will be missed by myself,and many,many more.

My wife called at work to tell me ... whew! Same here Tabbi. My thoughts immediately turned to all of my memories of Harvy. From softball back in the K-Mac days to "finally" make it back into the Duke system as HP's. Stopped me in my tracks for a while. Wish I could be there to pay respects. No doubt Davenports will be overwhelmed today. I bet there will be a few tears, but a whole lot of "Harvy Joe Price" stories. A true one-of-a kind! Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Went to Harvey's viewing today. I bet there was somewhere between 800 to 1000 people processed through. I know it was very hard on his family to stand and greet them all, there was people from different States as well. A true tribute to the man he was to all who knew him. I know he's with God now and can relax. will miss his peppers ,Home made Strawberry ice-cream and other garden stuff he would bring oh lets not forget his deep fried turkey and smoked Ham, but most of will miss him. Bye my brother prayer be with his family

I worked with Harvey in the Duke System in the 80's and then again at Robinson in the 90's. He always had a good story to tell and took his work very serious, always willing to help others. RIP brother!

Just saw where Harvey passed.  Knew him well from Hatch in the early 80's.  Was one of those guys who came to Hatch as a Jr. Tech and stayed for a long time.  Was still there when I left in 85.  He was a trip.  Sorry for his loss and wish his family well.
