Rory and I played intramural sports at St. Mel. I was hood and he was unbelievable! We played in a sunken b/ball court with 12´ walls. The game was tag football. We kicked off and Rory caught the ball. I had him dead to rights, pinning him against the wall. What did he do? He ran up the darn wall, I dived and slammed into the wall. Touch down Rory Oconnor

Hi Kelly. So sorry to hear about your dad. I´m remembering all our times together. So many. Love and happy wishes.

My deepest sympathy to all my O´Connor cousins and family members. I treasure the memories of my vacation one summer spent with his two sisters and four brothers.

Rory was my best friend growing up in Chicago. Patsy was my first girlfriend until she met Rory (7th grade). Rory has always been bigger than life...I loved him and can imagine the families sorry for his loss.

We are so sorry for your loss. I am so glad we could also memorialize him in the speech at the gala last year. Much love from Tara, Colm, Veronica and Maggie

May the Good Lord welcome Rory into His Kingdom and watch over his loved ones until we meet again. He will be missed and remembered.
