Ralph (Tom, Tiger) Rice 2/2/1959-12/3/2023 passed away peacefully on December 3rd, 2023 after a brief illness. He was surrounded by his family. Tom was predeceased by his parents Rita and Thomas Rice. He is survived by his wife Eileen, daughters Amanda Lee and Jenny Lee and his sister Tina Rice.
Tom was a welder and HVAC tech for many years. He loved riding his motorcycle with no particular destination in mind. Just the road and wind in his face. He also loved driving around in his truck with his wife, with the stereo blasting. Tom was an avid dart player and played for many years on teams in the Northwest Corner. He was also an avid collector of pocket knives and collecting antique knives and tools. He loved our vacations in Alexandria Bay, NY, on the St. Lawrence River in the 1000 Islands. Tom enjoyed spending time with family and friends, which made awesome memories for all.
Burial will be private with a Celebration of Life scheduled for early next year.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Diabetes Foundation or your favorite charity
RIP Tiger. It seems like yesterday we were skiing down sundown and off-road biking in the neighborhood. Going to miss you more than words can say! I Love You ♥️🙏♥️. Tina
