Ralph E. Rice

To Carole, Becky, Steven, and families, I was so sad to hear of Ralph passing. He left such wonderful memories for the community and students, his church and family members. Prayers for the family as you transition thru the grief process.

Carole and family, I have wonderful memories of Ralph as a teacher and coach. Even in upper level math classes Ralph was happy to talk about sports as long as we got our work done in class. He was a tremendous role model for hundreds of young people in how to live life well.

Ralph and Carole were first our neighbors, and then he was my boss in the Panther Athletic Department. Ralph was one of the finest people I´ve known and certainly most memorable as a personality. He held an open mind to society´s changes because he knew and brought out the best in so many students and athletes over the course of his life. Ralph was respected and fair-minded as a leader and hardworking as well. Ralph was drafted as an early Meet Manager for the State Cross Country Finals at...

So sorry to read of your loss Carole...My daughter Shelly was in your Girl Scout Troop!

Worked with Ralph for 17 years at Western High School. He was a real gentleman and I enjoyed my friendship with him. Rest in peace, Ralph.

Carole and family, I´m saddened to read of Ralph´s passing onto his next life. He was such a good neighbor, jogging by the house early in the morning, always smiling and happy. He´d stop and share anything and everything on his mind with us if we were in the yard. My fondest memories will be of your family joining us as Bob played his role of Santa Claus and your family singing Christmas Carole´s along the way. May the Angels welcome Ralph to Paradise where we will all meet once again.

Very sorry to hear about Ralph´s passing. As my math teacher and track coach he had a very large and positive influence on my life, especially after we moved into the same neighborhood.

I was fortunate to work with Ralph through athletics and coaching. Ralph was a tremendous educator, coach, and person. He was a bulldog with a soft heart. When Ralph would come home to Carole´s daycare where our four children attended, he would always offer his Mr Chicken imitation and our kids still talk about it. Our sincere sympathy to Ralph´s wonderful family, Carole, Becky, Matt, Steve, Kristen and grandkids.
