PRICE-Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend passed away peacefully at home on July 11, 2010 surrounded by loving family members after a brief battle with mesothelioma. He was born on Sept. 10, 1926 in Wattis, Utah to Daniel Richard and Nina Beryl Oviatt Grundvig. He was orphaned by the age of 13 months, and was raised by his maternal grandparents, Beaman and Sylvia Oviatt.
He married Mona Lee Jewkes on June 24, 1948 in the Manti Temple.
He served in the Navy during World War II. He was a master electrician and was an electrical and heating and air conditioning contractor. He deeply loved his family, and has set a powerful example for his family to follow. His testimony of the gospel was evident in the way that he lived his life. He faithfully served in many callings including scouting, bishop, high councilor, and most recently as stake patriarch. He received the Silver Beaver award. With his wife, he served in the Papua New Guinea Mission, a temple mission to the Manti Temple and the Price Family History Center. He lived a quiet life of obedience and faithful service. His family will be eternally grateful for the legacy he has given them.
He is survived by his wife, Mona Lee, Price, and his children, Gail (Loretta) Grundvig, West Jordan; Gardell (Carole) Grundvig, North Salt Lake; Loraina (Sidney) Nelson, Price; 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
