C. was an engineer and a mechanical genuis, holding numerous patents. In April of 1964, A. C. married the love of his life, Linda Ellard. Those that were fortunate to have met him always came away with a bit of knowledge or a humorous story that he shared with them. His children and grandchildren benefitted most from his vast knowledge and his uncanny ability to deliver this wisdom in a fascinating, oftentimes witty lesson. He instilled in them that same thirst for knowledge and an inquisitiveness and curiosity to know more and seek more. A. C. was a world traveller and spent a lot of time at sea on different research vessels. He loved the ocean and enjoyed every opportunity to be near it. He was fearless and never afraid of a challenge. Although his accomplishments in life and career were many, he was most proud of his family. A. C. enjoyed hunting, building things, watching Aggie football and spending time with his grandchildren. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Navasota and a past member of the Navasota School Board. Left to continue his legacy is his beloved wife of 54 years, Linda Hill; daughters Angie Hill Price and husband John of Navasota and Melissa McIntyre and husband Macky of Bellville; sisters Evelyn Knox of Giddings, Betty Ferrier of Little Elm; and Bertha “Bert” Bohannon, also of Little Elm, and grandchildren John Hill Price, Elizabeth Price, Jake McIntyre and Connor McIntyre.
