Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I just saw today, that Bill had passed. I worked with Bill at Dupont in Richmond from 1981 to 1986. He was my supervisor, but more importantly, I considered him a friend. He was a good man and a good boss! I last spoke to him, maybe 5 years ago and it was nice catching up. My condolences to his family.

Dear Dontae and family

I wanted to share my sincere heartfelt condolences with you and the entire family, friends and church family. I will continue to pray for each of you during this difficult season 🙏 ❤️. John 14: 1-3. Stay, encouraged Minister Price. Apostle Jacquelyn Pollock and Trinity Tabernacle Family

Cousin Bill was like a big brother to us. He always came to see about " Uncle Gordon and Aunt Lizzie" and family. He and Jean called me "Sandy." I can recall going to their house in Algoma, WVA. We were sad when they moved back to VA. When we moved to VA, there he was again taking up time with me and my children. We will always remember the love you showed us.

Our condolences are sent to our cousins. Davilla and Vagola

My sincere condolences go out to all of Bill's Family and Friends. I had the pleasure of working with Bill for a short while at Martin Processing. I worked around your Mom there for many years. It was always a pleasure to see them over the years. I still think of them often, fond memories. Patsy Snyder

Cousin Bill, also known as the Family Reunion Cousin, was always concerned about family. May God be with the Price-Mitchell-Smith family!! May we find peace and comfort in the memories of the life of My Dear Cousin Bill.

Cousin Doretha

Bill was a cherished brother in Christ at Forest Hill. My family has known him for over 50 years. He was such a good and faithful Christian and friend to so many. Much love and sympathy to all his family and loved ones. Jack, Temple and all of us from the Church.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
