Edward Rice Obituary

Its not good-bye its see ya later love this phrase I learned from a VA chaplain seeing all the words about Ed helps me remember all those things about him that made him so special. I love chocolate labs too. They are in heaven with him so happy

Only now have I learned of Ed's passing. I met him when he volunteered at Botany Bay, and got to know him when Colby bit my hand on my last day on Edisto! I made a foolish mistake but Ed acted as if I were saintly to accept responsibility. He made sure I got antibiotics before leaving SC and kept in touch to be sure I healed well. He took us to dinner the following year at Po' Pigs and was just the kindest and most gentle man. We talked about Carew Rice - I have my mother's Uncle Wiggily silhouette, possible family connections, etc. I am so glad to have known him and I truly hoped to see him again one day. I know he is sadly missed by many.

It was a wonderful supportive position at the Outer Banks medical center in nags head North Carolina. I worked with him as a physician assistant there in primary care as well as emergency medicine. Many fun and tragic times there as a remote medical facility
Enjoyed working with Ed so much and sorry to hear about this tragic accident.

I knew Eddie from our days on Riggs Drive in Clemson. I was Marcia McFadden in those days. My sympathy goes out to Beth and Peggy. May your memories help ease the pain and fill the void he leaves. Beth, I was Margaret' s roommate at Winthrop. I would love to catch up with her. Bob and I have retired in Clemson. My email is [email protected]. Love,Marcia Barrett

Deepest sympathy and prayers to Beth, Maggie and Corday.

Ed was one of a kind. Mark and I loved our wild times all through medical school and up until his death.He is now at peace.MARK and VICKY MEYER

I worked with Ed at Valdese General Hospital. I was one of the physicians on call frequently for my own patients and unassigned patients who didn't have a physician. We had many conversations as I was waiting for lab work or xrays on a patient we were going to admit. I really enjoyed his sense of humor and his kindness towards his patients. I also greatly respected his sense of humility. The medical community will truly miss him. Ed Bujold, MD

so enjoyed the fun many years ago, with beth, ed and the kids when they were all little. condolences to all- Valerie gross

When we first met Ed, he was a friendly neighbor with an endless supply of good-humored stories and an affinity for chocolate labs. Four years later, I would liken the relationship we had with Ed to that of a family member, especially for our brown dog, Brady. I feel so incredibly lucky that Ed came into our lives and that we had the opportunity to have known him. It's rare to encounter a person so kind-hearted, interesting, and with such a zest for life. As a good friend said to me after Ed's passing, Ed was one of those people who gave us memories we're glad to have experienced. He made us appreciate the good things in life. Coming across someone like that made it so tough to lose him, but he left us with something we didn't already have. I can only hope that we gave him even the slightest portion of what he gave us. There aren't enough words in the world to describe what a special person Ed was, but I have no doubt that all who had the pleasure of knowing him are better people for it. We already miss him terribly, but I smile so much when I think of him. Love and condolences to the Rice family.

Lots of happy memories of the Rices and duPlooys from Sullivan's Island 30 or so years ago. Love to all of you. Judy duPlooy

So sorry to hear about Ed's untimely passing. He and I go back to our Georgetown ER days. He always said we bought a fender for someone's Porsche.Such a unique personality. He will be sorely missed by those of us in the North Area Group and Caduceus and by me as a long term friend and colleague.Ben McInnes

We loved Ed very much and miss him terribly. He had become family to us and we looked forward to his regular visits. He gave us a different perspective on life in general and I'm sure we were able to solve at least some of the world's problems in our back porch discussions. We were glad for the opportunity to know him.

So sorry to hear of Ed's death. Such a great and unique person and MD. Loved working with him. You will be missed! Rest in peace.

I will never forget working with Ed in the ER, and he was a legacy at Trident. He has always been one of my favorite people, and he will be greatly missed. I'll never forget the day I showed up at his house to pick up my mother, who was visiting her good friend, Ed's mother in law, Betty. In walks Ed....we look at each other and say, "Ed?'.."Lou?'...Beth, Mama, and Betty are looking at each other like "what the heck is happening here??" Ed and I laughed so hard about that. I even have pictures of Beth and her twin sister at one of my childhood birthday parties. He thought that was so funny! He had such a good sense of humor.

This is truly sad news. Ed was like a father figure to me throughout the many years I worked with him at Trident. He will be truly missed. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

You left so many with beautiful and crazy memories of times spent with you. For me, the times way back in Medical School...camping, password, charades, sheephead fishing, Max, lovely Beth and the birth of Maggie and Corday. You were a trip and will be missed. Love to the family.

It was an honor and a pleasure to have worked with Dr. Rice at Trident ER. He will be greatly missed.

For those of you that knew Dr Ed Rice, he was an unforgettable presence in Trident Hospital's Emergency Departmen for many years. His passing is another piece of a wonderful time in place that has many memories for so many of us. Talked with him not long ago, he was a wonderful character that brought much laughter to my life, the patients he cared for, and his furry friends. You will be sadly missed my friend,much love, Vicki Ellis.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. We certainly loved Dr. Rice, best ER doctor ever. We are so very sorry for your loss. Always, Tim and Virginia Grimsley.

Heaven has received a great angel today. Keep family and the dogs in prayers Love Travis Ellis

I am so sorry to hear about Dr Ed's passing! I worked with him at Trident for over 5 years which grew a friendship and deep respect. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be truly missed!

It was such an honor to have worked with Dr Rice those years at Trident Hospital. His calm manor along with his wit and smile made him forever memorable. Dogs always can sense a kind heart and notably Dr Rice had many furry friends. Prayers for his wonderful family.

So sorry to hear of my dear friend's passing. We have shared experiences too many to count and many that shouldn't be. Smile upon me, Friend.
