Winston Churchill Rice

Dear Maggie and Chuck,
Winston was the kindest man I have ever had as part of my life. I am still crying that he is gone, but he will live in my heart forever. My cousin, Cathy (Tucker) Walvoord told a story of Winston when you all lived on Orchid St. He would come out to the end of the driveway and yell "Who wants to go to Dairy Queen?!" and all the kids would come running and crowd into his car and off they would go.

Our family was so blessed to have the Rice's in our lives. Winston always had a smile and warm hug. He was best man at my parent's wedding, so he was an important part of their lives! Daddy loved telling stories about their piloting escapades during World War II. They were the best pilots! So glad I got to be a part of the final goodbye to him during that beautiful memorial service.

What a wonderful life he lived, leaving exceptional stories & memories for all of you to treasure. Winston was kind to me all my life, always sharing his smile. My sympathy ...

To all the Rices:
Winston was one of the kindest, funniest, most gentle people I have known. Even his brother Irwin literally saved my life during an illness. Between the two of them my life was changed forever for the better.

Chuck-
My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. It sound more like the end of an era than just the loss of a life, what a life he led.

Tom and I are sending our prayers to Aunt Margaret, Winston and Chuck and to all of my Rice family. As a kid, I always enjoyed visiting with Uncle Winston. I found his charming bird calls extremely amusing. He was a wonderful example of his generation. So committed to his family, his faith and his country. He will be missed.
