"Robert had a great sense of humor and a positive
attitude. He was determined to "live until he died"."

Robert Leon Tice passed away peacefully at his home in Vancouver, WA on Oct. 10, 2012 after a long illness, attended by his wife, Tamara and his close friend, John Radabaugh. He was born in Enid, OK.
After serving in the United States Army, Robert traveled extensively around the United States on his motorcycle. He enjoyed many interests including fencing, sky diving, motorcycle racing, reading, music and theater.
Robert was a consultant in fiberglass and spent nearly thirty years trouble shooting in the fiberglass industry, traveling throughout the USA and Canada and spending time working in China, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
People fascinated Robert and he was always fighting for and supporting good causes. He was a political activist and worked tirelessly for the rights of others, offering himself as a spokesperson for those unable to speak for themselves. Even his final illness did not stop him from being concerned for others. He will be sorely missed.
Besides his wife, Tamara, residing in Vancouver, Robert is survived by his son, Robert Duncan; daughter, Becky Quick and her three children, all of Weiser, ID; and three brothers, Ken Tice and Keith Tice of St. Helen's, OR and Gary Tice of Hemet, CA.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Hallie Jeannette (Luber) Cook and his father, Donald Keith Tice.
At Robert's request, a Celebration of his Life will be held in late spring of 2013, when the flowers are in bloom. A date has not yet been selected, but friends and family will be kept informed when plans are completed.
