Harold V. Price, 90, of Galion passed away Sunday, January 29, 2023 peacefully at home in the arms of his wife just two days before his 91st birthday after a late diagnosis of Dementia Alzheimer.
He was born January 31, 1932 in Mansfield and was the son of Henry G. and Ruby F. (Garverick) Price.
He grew up in Galion and attended Galion High School. After high school, he was drafted into the United States Army in October of 1952. Harold served two years during the Korean Conflict, was the recipient of numerous medals and was discharged in 1954 obtaining the rank of Sergeant First Class.
He worked at General Motors in Ontario as a machine operator, retiring after 49 ½ years of employment. Prior to working at General Motors, Harold worked 2 ½ years at the former Stratbury Uniform Company and 6 years at Perfection Cobey.

Harold enjoyed playing cards, going to casinos, watching westerns on TV, but most of all, tinkering in his garage, spending time on his “favorite lawn mower” and eating chicken and dumplings at the Golden Corral.
He married Julia (Snyder) Price on May 20, 1998 in Las Vegas, Nevada and they were happily married nearly 25 years. They were like “two peas in a pod!” When you saw one, you saw the other.
