Linton’s family moved to Front Royal, Virginia in the 1930s. After graduation from high school he went to Coyne Electrical School in Chicago. He started his career as an electrician wiring houses that the family built before joining the Air Force in 1950 during the Korean Conflict.

During his military career he was a radar mechanic. After his discharge, Mr. Tice worked many years in electronics and later as a building manager. His last position was a property manager for Jones Lang Wootton in Washington, DC.

In 1959 Linton married and moved to Falls Church, Virginia where he and his wife raised their children. Linton loved family activities like camping, boating and golf. As a husband and father his most proud accomplishment was raising his children. He was a “go-to” guy for the kids, family and for friends. Linton and Betty also traveled later in life. After retiring they moved to Front Royal in 1999.
