Rizzuto, his partner in life, of 47 years, and his parents, John L. and Enid Barbin DiMiceli. Glyce is survived by his sister, Diane K. DiMiceli and brother, John L.

Glyce was born in New Orleans on August 08, 1943. He was a devout Roman Catholic and servant of Jesus Christ throughout his life. Glyce was a graduate of Holy Cross High School, and attended L.S.U.

Glyce and Tony were successful in business ventures, including The Owl Food Mart in 1972. Later, in 1976, they opened Pearl’s Kitchen, and in 1978 they added Owl Food Mart No. 2. They operated all three businesses and managed their other investments until Hurricane Katrina.

Glyce and Tony retired to travel the world and enjoy life. They visited their beloved families, and close friend, Danny Salamone, annually in beautiful Sicily.

Glyce Dimiceli was a kind, sweet and generous gentleman. He was involved in his community through the Carnival organization, The Mystic Krewe of Apollo, and reigned as their first king. Glyce enjoyed weekly dinners and lively conversations with his sister and “girlfriends”, Shannon, Gwen, Tammy, and Barbara. Glyce also enjoyed many festive evenings with his delightful friend, Ned Pitre. He also enjoyed ending his day having a conversation with his dear friend, Mary Burch.
