(Dawn) Dice, III, step-daughter, Sheryl McMillan, grandson Blake H. Dice, brother Jerry (Barb) Dice, former spouse Jean Pirnia, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends. His beloved parents precede him in death.

Bob was my first real "boss" and my mentor. I think of him often and still remember him always telling me "you're good but not as good as me". He taught me so much that I have continued to use throughout my career. I will always be grateful. I am very sad to hear that he has passed. My deepest sympathy to Carol and his entire family.
