Former Montgomery County jailer Charles “Charlie” V. Vice, 75, died Nov. 20 at St. Joseph Mt. Sterling.
Vice served as jailer for seven years and was instrumental in the construction of the current regional jail. He was also a former Montgomery County deputy sheriff.
Childhood friend and former city council member for 15 years James Tipton said Vice would do anything for anyone.
“Charlie was as good a friend as you could say,” he said. “He was just an all around person.”
Vice was the kind of person people would like everyone to be, Tipton said.
Former jailer opponent Jeff Rudd said Vice was a very respectful man to him and everyone he knew.
“Even though we both ran for jailer and lost, we both came out winners,” Rudd said.
Vice was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, a master mason with Free Mason, Oleika Shriner, Kentucky Colonel and member of the Scottish Rite Bath County Lodge No. 55.
Vice was the son of the late Marion Thomas and Gladys Shields Vice. He is survived by his wife, Diana Newsom Vice of Mt. Sterling; two daughters, Charlotte Vice of Lexington and Sherry (Randy) Cuzick of Nicholasville; a son, Jeff Vice of Lexington; a stepdaughter, Becky Rudd of Felicity, Ohio; four grandchildren; two stepgrandchildren; three great-granddaughters; a brother, Harold Vice of Hazard; and four sisters, Coretta (William) Crump and Joyce (Ralph) Smathers, both of Sharpsburg, Nancy (Clifton) Hart and Janette (Tommy) Orme, both of Mt. Sterling.
Services were held Tuesday, Nov. 24, at Herald and Stewart Home for Funerals. For complete obituary details, see A2.
