Stephen Charles Rice

Steve, my first college room mate, joined me for a long planned 8 day, 400 mile bike ride across NY State.

My sincere condolences.

Stephen was a joy to work with whenever I conducted research at the state library for CPTV and PBS documentaries. A true professional, always helpful and quick-witted, Stephen transformed the task of research an adventure in learning and discovery. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It will be a "long walk" without Stephen. Please accept are deepest condolences. Lou and Sue Bertagna
