Glenn Keeler BICE, DDS 

Nov. 23, 1927 ~ Nov. 5, 2008 Born at Oceanside, CA to Clair and Mildred (LaPlant) 
Bice; died at his home in Issaquah, WA. Served in United States Navy in the Pacific 
during World War 2. Resuming his education interrupted by the war, he earned a 
degree in Civil Engineering from UCLA. Glenn continued his work as a consulting 
engineer while earning a doctorate in dental surgery from Baylor University in 1965. 
This second career led him to Washington State, where he performed oral surgery at 
Veterans Administration hospitals at Walla Walla and Seattle. Glenn treated his patients 
with care and skill. Here in Seattle he pursued his favorite activity, cruising the waters 
of Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska. Glenn read widely and had varied 
interests, among them astronomy, fine arts, music, gardening, and caring for animals, at 
one time making a home for some retired brickyard mules. Cats were his special friends 
throughout his life. With his wife Patricia, Glenn enjoyed travel to the more remote areas 
of the world, the Highlands and Hebrides of Scotland, Bering Sea and Kamchatka 
Peninsula, and Antarctica. Glenn is mourned by his wife of 18 years, Patricia, of 
Issaquah; and his first wife, May Bice, of Missouri City, TX. Also surviving are his sisters, 
Tudie McDaniel and Nancy Coleman, both of Tucson, AZ; and a brother, Gordon Bice, 
of Cottonwood, AZ. His parents, a sister and two brothers preceded him in death. 
Glenn's beloved cats Emilie and Furbie miss him. For those wishing to make a
