Rory O'Bar Obituary
Rory graduated from Pius X High School (Class of '71) in Downey, California and embarked on a career in the construction industry. A master carpenter, there wasn't anything Rory couldn't build, from the tree house he built for his siblings to enjoy in childhood to custom built homes and other construction projects too numerous to list here.
Farewell dear brother until we meet in the hereafter.
A Mass of Remembrance will be held for Rory on Friday July 12th at 11am at St. Anne's Catholic Church, 340 10th St., Seal Beach CA
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Rory was my cousin. I didn't know him but for the brief, yet totally joyful 10 or so Christmases that my father Earl took us to at his brother Leland's house in the 60's and early 70,s. It was a lively, vibrant family as I remember. A big happy place that is etched in my mind forever. I wish this family that I know so little of the very best. I'd love to reconnect. sincerely, Patrick . [email protected]
