I remember him so well, I'm the granddaughter of Carl Rice, I was thinking about him in the last few years but had no luck finding him. Sorry to hear about this, I never forgot about him.

Our hearts go out to Bobs family and Dickie Hess our brother. Bob was like a brother to us all of these years knowing him. Was always at every function we had. Bike rides on the bike path. Its funny he started out behind us all but passed us all going back. He beat us at the finish line, so many good memories we have. We loved going to his house doing ceramics when our mom was alive . He had such good faith in god. I know he was ready to go home and be with the lord. When we had a garage sale he loved coming to sit with us I think to pick on us. Loved doing that. We were his extended family as he was ours. Bob will be greatly missed.
