Bobby Clay Price, 94, of Hockessin, DE, formerly of Elkton, MD, passed away on Monday, March 31, 2025. Born in Bristol, VA on November 7, 1930, he was the son of the late Raymond Perkins and Earsel Price Brown.

A U.S. Navy veteran, Bobby proudly served his country from 1951 to 1955 and continued his service in the Navy Reserves until 1961. He was a proud member of the USS Bowers, an experience that shaped much of his life and character. After his honorable service, Bobby worked as a millwright for DuPont, dedicating 33 years to the company until his well-earned retirement. Bobby had been a member of Crossroads Bible Church, where he found great fellowship and a sense of community. Outside of his professional and spiritual life, he had a deep passion for building and home renovation. He found great joy in constructing and improving houses, always bringing a personal touch to each project. Bobby will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
