Billy "Bill" Bice, a retired carpenter, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2023, in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the age of 90. He was born on January 15, 1933, in Loup City.

Brother John and I were sorry to learn of Bill´s passing. He was a great friend, neighbor and in John´s case hunting partner and employer. I always enjoyed visiting with Bill at the Yankee Hill reunions.
