James Carvin "Jim" Rice, age 90, of Erlanger, Kentucky passed away on Sunday, June 27, 2021. He was born in Van Lear, Kentucky on November 27, 1930 to Russell Gaines and Alpha Rice (nee Bowe).
Jim was an avid fisherman and valued the time fishing with his family. He loved to read and was an advocate for education. He would often encourage his children and grandchildren to read, pursue an education, and visit the public library. His favorite author being Isaac Asimov who wrote "I, Robot".

He faithfully served in our nation's Air Force for four years in the early 1950's as a radar operator. Above all he was proud of his family and loved each of them. He would willingly watch all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren without any hesitation.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings, Levita Wells, Russell Rice, Randy Rice, Darryl Rice, and Gloria Rice.
