I remember when I was about 10 years old at a hall wedding reception Uncle Larry asked me to go the kitchen to get a salt shaker. I thought that was strange since the food had not yet been served. Upon my return he took it and gave it a couple shakes in to his beer! Besides the foam it generated, to this day I have no idea why he did that but was to afraid to ask at the time!! I think all the nephews would agree, Uncle Larry in his prime was an intimidating individual to a 10 year old! As we aged it became clear he was just a quiet gentle soul who at that time only spoke when he had something interesting to say or add to the conversation. Larry, Julie, Chris and Jackie, I am so sorry for your loss, but I am sure Aunt Jackie is taking care of him now. He was the last matriarch of the Grandpa and Grandma Rice family line and I would argue an end of an era.
