Howard Henry “Hook” Rice, 84, of Birmingham, Alabama passed
away August 20, 2020 after a brief illness. Born and raised In Campbellsville,
Kentucky, he was the only son of Evelyn Henry Rice and Dr. Howard Rice. He was
a proud alumnus of The College of William and Mary where he was a member Of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Howard then earned a degree from Vanderbilt Law
School.
He spent 2 years in the US Army 101st Airborne
Division stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky before beginning his dream career
with the FBI. He worked in both Milwaukee, WI and Newark, NJ while with the
FBI.
In 1969, Howard, his wife, and children moved to Montgomery,
Alabama for him to take a job as head of investigations with South Central
Bell. Upon retiring he worked with the state Attorney General’s office.
Hook, as he was affectionately known was an avid reader and
wine connoisseur. He also enjoyed gardening and stamp collecting. But above all
these interests came sports. He loved watching his children and grandchildren
compete in everything from football to tennis to BMX racing.
As usual with most Kentuckians, Hook loved to watch UK
basketball. If a game were not televised where he was, he would call his mother
and receive a play by play over the phone.
Howard is survived by his wife of 22 years, Glenda G. Rice.

(Joe). His Beloved grandchildren Taylor Rice (Krysta), Michael O’Leary, Jacob
