Bay - 1957
Folks it is with great
sorrow that I inform you of the passing of one
of your members. I am friend of the family and
wish only to inform you of Lee's passing
so that it may be recorded for posterity sake.
Lee was a teacher and mentor and suffered greatly
in his final years.
RICE, Lee - Passed
away at Casselholme on Mon. July 5, 2010, at
the age of 82, after a lengthy illness (PSP-Progressive
Supranuclear Palsy). Born and raised in Northern
Ireland, Lee passionately loved sailing, skiing,
storytelling, world travel and education. He
was the head of the Geography Department at
Widdifield Secondary School until 1987. Most
beloved experience was as leader of the British
Antarctic Survey Team from 1956-1959. His stories
of sledging and penguins were memorable. Lee
was predeceased by wife Margaret, survived by
wife Elizabeth; father of Stephanie (Toronto),
Suzanne (Oshawa), Donald (Whitby) and Katy (Rob-Toronto);
grandfather of Jesse, Jacob and Finnegan and
brother of Rosemary and Campbell in Northern
Ireland. Sadly missed by friend Alain Thibault,
Minh Huonj, Clara and Maria. At Lee's request
there will be no visitation or service. A party
of slides, Irish music and stories to celebrate
Lee's life was held at Emmanuel Church on
Sat. July 17th from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. for family,
friends, former students and colleagues. |
