FBI agent John Proctor stated that "Price picked up a shovel and dug right in, and gave no indication whatsoever that any of it bothered him.

During an interview for The New York Times Magazine in 1977, he stated that "he enjoyed watching the television show Roots" and in regards to racial integration said that "[w]e've got to accept this is the way things are going to be and that's it.

He died in the same hospital in Jackson where, thirty-seven years earlier, he had helped transport the bodies of the three slain civil rights workers for autopsies.
