Dear Tammie,
I am so very sorry for your loss. He is now without pain and suffering and is flying high with God's angels.
What a charming couple you always made when coming in to see Doc. If ever you need to talk to someone who's been "there", please do call me.
Fondly, Lynn

I first met Rory in 1971 at the I Am Coffeehouse. We lost contact in the 80s and 90s. Met up again in 2002. He faced life's challenges with faith and courage. See you on the other side my friend.

I didn't know Rory very well but he sure seemed like a really good guy, there was something different about him, he treated everyone with dignity. Back in about 74' we went up to Browns mountain in his old Willys which he claimed could go anywhere. To demonstrate, he turned off the road and attempted to climb up the side of the mountain which had about 3 ft. of snow on it. We went about 5 ft. and promptly got stuck up to the wheel wells. There were 4 of us so it only took 2 hrs. to dig...

I met Rory during the Jesus People movement in Spokane in the early 70's. He was passionate about the Lord then. We will meet again. PTL

I did not run in the same crowd as Rory in High School but I always thought he was really cool. I just thumbed through my old L.C. yearbook which I just happened to locate today, and when I looked up Rory, I had to re-affirm it, he was cool alright. I got to visit with Rory along with a mutual friend about 2 months ago and it was a special time. God Bless you Rory and also those who are left here mourning the loss of their loved one. To be absent from the body IS to be present with the LORD....
