Paul Robert

Price

Paul Robert Price, 80, of Blanchard, passed away in his home, on March 17, 2025.  The son of Joseph Henry "Jay" Price and Frances Anna (Dirks) Price, Paul was born on August 2, 1944, in Denver, Colorado.

Paul graduated from South High School in Denver, Colorado and joined the United States Navy in April of 1965.  He served on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet.  While working on the sonar aboard the ship he helped discover a reef off of Australia and it was later named the Price Cay Reef in his honor.  Paul married Janice Faye Burk on March 21, 1969, and was married for 51 years until Jan passed away on May 14, 2020.  Paul worked for the State of Oklahoma with ODOT.  He was a draftsman and worked in highway design.  He was especially proud of his designs for the cloverleaf in Ardmore and the bridge designs you can see on I-35 on your way to Texas.
Paul was a talented artist and played the piano like Beethoven even though he did not read music.  Paul was a quiet, private man who did not want any fanfare.  He cared for his family and wanted them to be happy and secure.  Paul will be greatly missed, especially by his daughter and granddaughters who helped care for him for the last several years of his life.

Paul is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Jan Price; sister-in-law, Winnie Price and son-in-law, Elias Flores.

Paul is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Ann Flores of Blanchard; son, Brian Robert Price of Tulsa; granddaughters, Adelina, Blakely, and Avery Flores; great grandson, Elias Axell Henson; brother, John A. Price of Denver, Colorado; and other relatives and friends.

The family will be having a private ceremony to honor Paul's life.   Arrangements under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home.  Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com.
