Mr.& Mrs.Rice, Greg and Ron,
We were shocked to hear about Tony's death. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Having been neighbors for so many years, I remember Tony well, especially when he gave me a dime one time when he was home from college and told me to call him when I got older ! With fond memories, Ellen

Rice family,
My heart is absolutely broken and I am grieving with you. I was fortunate enough to become Tony's friend through countless conversations at Waffle House on Zebulon Road. My wife Gayle was also with me on most occasions and is also heart-broken. I remember Tony loved his family and we would often talk about family. I will miss him....

To the Rice family. I am so sorry for your loss. Tony was a very nice person, always worrying about his family whom he spoke of and loved very much. I would see Tony all the time at Shelby's Diner. He was friends with everyone who came in. We will miss him a lot. Marilyn Huntley

I went to elementary school with Tony and he was such a nice person. When my father had cancer, Tony did some plumbing for him and would not charge him. I'm sorry for your loss.
