To Hannah, Joy and all the "J" girls,

I didn't know Mr. Rork but felt as if I did from all the wonderful things Joy has said about her dad. As Joy's friend and partner, I am so thankful that the Lord blessed her and all the sisters with such a wonderful, God-fearing, spirit-filled father. His influence on their lives is evident. What a great gift!

While I didn't know Mr. Rork, I do know Hannah and am thankful that the Lord has blessed me in this way. She is a...

Jim was a good friend for many years. I am so sorry for your loss.

I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Rork, however his daughter Judi has been my friend for many years. I would like to extend my condolences to Judi and all of her family at this time and send my prayers that they will heal quickly from this horrible hurt in thier hearts. God bless you all.

My sincere condolences to Hannah and the family.

I will always remember the wonderful
times the four of us (Jack, Joe Repasky, Ray Bachon and I) had prior to the war.

Sincerely,
Jack Mann

To Jennifer Shaw, Mrs. Jack Rork and family:

Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband, dad and friend. Our prayers are with you always. God will always bless each and every one of you and he will keep each and every one in the family in his arms to comfort you always.

I didn't know Mr. Rork, but I did have the pleasure of knowing one of his daughters, Joy. We attended Roswell Kent and Garfield together. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. He sounded like a great person; he celebrated life. May God bless and keep the entire family throughout this difficult time. Sheila (Johnson) Thomas

"Grandpa" Rork very obviously had a passion for kids...his own or otherwise. Though there were no blood lines tying us together, he always treated my sister and me as if we were his grandchildren. I remember when we came out to visit when I was about 5 years old and my sister was 8. We were arguing over the speed of the ceiling fan by pulling on the string, and the last time I pulled it, the whole fan came crashing to the floor! Expecting both of the Rorks to yell and scream, I actually...
