Robert G. Rice, aged 94, passed away on Wednesday June 19, 2024, in Toledo, Ohio, the city where he was born on December 24, 1929. A respected engineer for the City of Toledo, Robert dedicated his career to designing and improving the city's infrastructure, significantly contributing to its development and functionality.
Robert's early years were marked by service in the U.S. Army during the Korea era, where he demonstrated the same commitment and brilliance that would later define his civilian career. Following his military service, he pursued and completed an associate's degree in engineering, which paved the way for his professional path as a city engineer.
Known for his kind and patient demeanor, Robert was also a man of intellect and creativity. His hobbies included reading, painting, writing, and traveling activities that kept his mind sharp and spirit vibrant.
He is survived by his sons, Gary, Tim, and Dan; daughters-in-law, Betsy and Ann; and grandchildren, Sarah, Katie, Luke, and Sean, who will miss him deeply.
Arrangements are under the care of Reeb Funeral Home, Sylvania. Robert's life and legacy will be honored in a manner befitting his significant contributions to his community and country. Online condolences to reebfuneralhome.com
