Donnie Wheatley’s 35th Anniversary as Executive Director

Mr. Larry Price

Boys Home is deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Larry Price. Mr. Price was an avid supporter of our mission for many decades. When Executive Director Donnie Wheatley was a student at Boys Home, Mr. Larry Price and his wife “Boots” were his Christmas sponsors each year. Christmas sponsors donate funds toward an individual student to ensure his Christmas is special.

Mr. Wheatley attended his funeral service and spoke about Mr. Price’s connection to Boys Home, as well as his connection to Mr. Wheatley personally. For the full obituary, click here: https://www.ratterman.com/obituaries/Larry-Price-10/#!/Obituary
