Floyd T. "Ted" Rice

I always felt particularly close to Uncle Ted. I know mother loved him dearly and I guess that is part of the reason he was so special to me. There are very few like him left, he was a true "gentleman". Honest, caring, with a wonderful sense of humor and with a sense of duty. If he said it, it was true, if it needed to be done, he did it. We all loved him and I know his family misses him terribly, however he left them the gift of wonderful memories.

Dear Aunt Ruby, Pat, Roger & Family,
My thoughts & prayers are with you during this sad time. I know you are going to miss Uncle Ted, he was such a fine, caring, man. We will all miss him.In my mind he will always be what I thought a real man should be. A Christian man, a family man.
Love you all,
Billie Jean
