Mr. John W. Price

John Price, age 82, of Mt. Royal, went home to be with the Lord on Monday March 7, 2022. He was a loving husband and father, as well as being dedicated to helping others his whole life. Throughout his life, he served God and willingly said yes, to whatever God asked him to do. John was a long time member of Zion United Methodist Church in Clarksboro, serving in numerous positions over the years, the longest being head of the hard working group of trustees. He also was a dedicated public servant in the township. John joined the active list of the Mt. Royal Fire Association (later the East Greenwich Fire & Rescue Association) in July of 1972. He was also a founding member in 1972 of the East Greenwich Ambulance Association and was the first Chairperson of the organization. John served on the East Greenwich Zoning Board for several years; as Fire Chief for Mt. Royal Fire Company for six years and also for ten years as Assistant Fire Marshall. He has also served as the Treasurer for the East Greenwich Firemen’s Relief Association for 31 years and has retired this year. John had a lifelong love of planning and working on projects with his hands. He had great joy in all things trains, from making and restoring engines to building intricate structures to go on his HO train layout. He was a long time member of the Raccoon Valley Railroad Club. He also patiently passed his knowledge of building layouts and trains on to a new generation by creating a train club at church, working with and teaching young people to make a special layout of their own. John loved woodworking, and learned many skills over the years to create numerous pieces of furniture, cabinets, and many other items for family and friends. John especially loved spending time with his family, enjoying yearly vacations at the shore, fishing with his son and grandson, family get-togethers, and weekend getaways to Lancaster County with his wife. John is survived by his daughter, Beth Price, his son and daughter-in-law Greg and Debbie Price, and grandson Joshua Price, all of Mt. Royal. He is predeceased by his wife Jane, his sister, Doxsee Cardosa, and his parents Powell M. Price and Elizabeth Koponick (nee Jordan).
