Leon Price, of South Windsor, passed away on March 11, 2026, in the Philippines. He was born in Chicago on September 8, 1942, to the late Leon and Sarah "Lucky" (Williams) Price.

Leon earned a Master’s Degree in Biology and spent over 20 years working as an industrial hygienist with Aetna ensuring employee safety across America. Throughout his life, he was known for his intelligence, curiosity, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

In his younger years, Leon enjoyed fixing computers, working on cars, and drag racing. As he grew older, his interests expanded to include art, theater, travel, and reading. He especially loved visiting the Philippines, a place that became very close to his heart. Leon traveled extensively around the world and had a gift for making friends everywhere he went. He was sociable, warm, and always enjoyed a good conversation.

Leon also had a passion for books and technology, and at one time sold computer books, combining two of his lifelong interests.

He is survived by his six children, grandchildren, extended family, and many friends who will remember his adventurous spirit, kindness, and vibrant personality.

Leon will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 1pm at Townsend Cemetery in Andover.
