James Eugene Rice, 66, passed away Thursday evening, August 6, 2009 at his home in Ann Arbor. He was born on Nov. 8, 1942, in Ann Arbor, to C. Alfred and Evelyn Rice. He graduated from Coldwater High School in 1960 and the University of Michigan, where he earned undergraduate degrees in engineering, a PhD in physics, and an MBA. He married Sandra Johnson on Aug. 17, 1968. She survives. He was employed as a scientist/engineer at several Ann Arbor companies, including Bendix Aerospace, Optimetrics, KMS Systems, and, in 1991, with several colleagues started his own engineering company, Canopus Systems. Several of the systems that he worked on have been flown in various space missions.  He retired in 2000 after being diagnosed with melanoma and devoted himself to family, travel, and service on the Coldwater School Board. His melanoma returned earlier this year and he returned to Ann Arbor for treatment and hospice care.
