BEAUFORT, S.C. — Charles Warren Price Jr. of Beaufort and
Bridgton, Maine, died Thursday, May 29, 2014, in Columbia.
He was born Oct. 15, 1940, in Miami, to Charles Warren Price
Sr. and Margaret Robbins.
Warren grew up as an avid outdoorsman in the South Florida
Everglades and Keys. He attended Miami Edison High School, where he played
football. He was given a football scholarship to Virginia Polytechnic Institute
to play quarterback, where he broke records and earned numerous awards. He was a
member of the German Club and Delta Kappa Epsilon, graduating in 1963 with a
bachelor's degree in business. He married Barbara Philips Price on March 11,
1963, in Asheville, N.C.
Warren joined the U.S. Navy, where he flew the E-1 and E-2. He
was a landing signal officer for his squadron aboard the carriers Essex and
Lexington. He also played quarterback for the Navy Goshawks.
After leaving the Navy, he was a pilot for Delta Airlines for
31 years. He flew the DC-9, the 727 and retired as a captain on the L1011 in
1999. Following retirement, Warren and Babs moved to Beaufort, where they
purchased and operated Plums restaurant downtown.
Warren loved to be active and outdoors. He coached his sons in
Pop Warner football, skied in the Maine winters, and played tennis, handball and
racquetball. He loved to fish and spearfish. A true jack-of-all-trades, he could
build or repair most anything and was especially proud of his woodworking,
building beautiful pieces of furniture and taking great joy in giving them to
family and friends.
Warren's biggest passion was wild turkey hunting. He was a
lifetime member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, known for counting the
days until turkey season began. He loved to plan and take trips with his hunting
buddies. He considered attaining The Grand Slam, Royal Slam and World Slam of
turkey hunting some of his greatest accomplishments in life.

Passed away either yesterday, May 28 or today May 29. I'm not sure from
what but he did have Parkinsons disease and has been in a lot of pain for years
after a couple of back surgeries. We shared the same birthday!
I bet y'all didn't know that he was a college quarterback and was taken in
the NFL draft by the Broncos but passed it up to go flying in the
Navy.
