From Pamela Allen Adminstrator Dade County Health Department

On Wednesday, January 29th, 2020 the Dade County Health Department held a retirement party for Larry Rice at the Intermission Café. Larry has been with the health department since January of 2012 and everyone was sad to see him go, but also excited for his adventures to come! Staff from the Dade County Health Department attended Larry’s party, along with his family and supervisors from the Department of Health and Senior Services, Aaron Winslow and Edith Todd.

A few local restaurants expressed their sadness about Larry leaving, but they all wished him the best! Larry was more than a health inspector/ environmentalist, he was a colleague and a friend to all.

Right after retirement, Larry and his wife Christine left for Florida for a well-earned vacation. We were all very lucky to work with Larry during his time here and wish him the absolute best in his travels and retirement!
