Donald Forrest Price, 82, of Hemphill, Texas passed away Saturday, April 10, 2021 at Sabine County Hospital in Hemphill.

Donald was born July 2, 1938 in Chicago, IL to Henry Forrest Price and Wilhelmine Claire Zimmerman Price.  He had been a resident of Sabine County since 1996, having previously lived in Manville, Texas.  He was a member of First Baptist Church in Hemphill and he enjoyed fishing and hunting.

Donald was a graduate of the University of Tennessee where he had earned his Bachelor's Degree in Engineering.  His first job straight out of college was for a company called NASA that was just starting out and building from the ground up.  He was involved with the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs and his main job as he described it was "putting man on the moon".  When asked what it was like he described it as the Ultimate Camping Trip: You'd better have everything you need and you'd better know how to fix it.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Price of Hemphill; and brothers, Michael Price and wife, Mary, of Flint, Texas, David Price of Pasadena, Texas, and Gary Price and wife, Jeanette, of Lenexa, Kansas.
