IN MEMORY – ERIC NORMAN RICE
It was with much sadness we learnt that Eric Rice passed away on the 11th March 2010 at the age of 85.
Eric joined Oyster yacht builders E C Landamores as a 14-year-old trainee, straight out of school in 1939. His
managerial potential was spotted early on when he was promoted to foreman in charge of the machine shop aged just 17, which in those days produced a range of household goods such as ironing boards and ladders. During the 1940’s he moved in to the boat building side of the business, which was then building 65’ RAF fast launches.
In 1956 he became Yard Foreman and oversaw production of the Broads hire fl eet before progressing to Manager and then Director, working alongside Leslie Landamore. When the relationship with Oyster was forged in the 1970’s it was Eric who steered Landamores on a true course to success.
In 1978, Anthony Landamore joined the company and Eric continued to off er the same guiding hand to the third generation of Landamores. Although Eric offi cially retired on his 65th birthday, he never actually got round to retiring. Landamores would not be where they are today without him and we are all the poorer for his passing.
