I am deeply saddened to hear that George has passed away. I knew George, or Mr. Rice, when I was a young
police officer with the Carlisle Police Department. He was a wonderful man and had a wonderful wife and family. I have many
memories of him, although it has been many years since I've seen him. To his family, you have been blessed with a wonderful
Husband, Father, Grandfather...
God Bless You All

To Toni and the rest of the Rice Family - Please accept my condolences on the
death of your father and husband. Over the years that I have known and worked with Toni I have seen so many family pictures
and heard so many stories that I felt I knew him too. All the cliches are true. With time, his life will be more a cause
for celebration and fond memories than of pain or loss. His spirit will never be lost as long as he has children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and the generations continue.
Best wishes to you all, Larry Singer _______________
We send our love, prayers, and sympathy to you at this sad time. May
the many happy memories of your dad help to carry you through.
