To the Rice family,
You are in in my thoughts and prayers.  The manor has lost two community staples this week. God bless you all during this difficult time.

Bonnie, I was so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Of all the great folks I've known at Electric Boat, Jim was one of the best.  He would offer help to anyone who needed it - the vice president, or the sweeper, all in the same friendly way.  A true people person, before the title became popular. He accomplished so much, and worked so hard, but always was a gentleman.  My condolences to Jim's family. Phil Scalise

Mr. Rice was a friend, a mentor and a stabilizing force in a turbulent Shipyard.  We will all treasure our memories of Jimmy the family guy and Shipbuilder.  Thank you for sharing your Jim/Dad with all of us.

It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to a wonderful friend! Our memories go back many years from New London to moving & raising our families in "THE MANOR". We will always cherish the great times we had together. Jim's children & grandchildren will be his legacy & all who knew him will forever keep him alive in our hearts! God Bless all of you. Margie & Gary Murphy

Our sincere condolences are with the entire Rice family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Mike and the rest of the Rice family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of Jimmy.  I will remember him fondly from our younger days.

May God grant the Rice Family His Peace and Blessing. I remember Jimmy from EB as an always willing to help fun guy to be around. He will be missed.

To the Rice Family -  We are so sorry for your loss.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathies to the Rice family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Bonnie and family-  I only knew Jim from work experience and he was well liked by all that he shared his employment with. He will never be forgotten by those who had a chance to enjoy his expertise and his level attitude.  Ken ( and Barbara) Sylvia Oakdale, CT
