Roderick Timothy Dunne

I am so sorry. Rory was amazing. I always thought of him as some sort of crazy mountain man. I was a freshmen at Williams and he was a JA and we formed this friendship because I could drive stick and desperately needed a ride to and from Williams. So many amazing positive memories. I think the best was when we were driving back to Williams in an ice storm and the car slid off the road. We spent the next hour skating up and down the Vermont hills until we were rescued by a snow plow. I will miss you, my friend.

I am so sorry for the loss of Rory to this world. He was a wonderful human who had such a positive impact in my life at Williams, though I was a year behind him. He was my coach for ice hockey -- and was wonderfully patient & supportive as my skating skills slowly caught up with my stick skills (honed by playing field hockey and lacrosse). He made me a giant wooden cudgel to reward me for being the team goon my first year. His advice, "If you are going down, and we all know you are, take someone with you." We also were both studio art majors, and I was inspired by his daring. I last spoke with him in the spring of 2022 as he was preparing to attend his son's graduation from USNA because I had a son in '18 and lived in Annapolis. We had plans to get together in the future. I am so sad that will not happen on this earth. Sending so much love and light to the family. Rory was a great, great person.

Such sad news. I have fond memories of being in art classes with Rory at Williams. May his artistic talents be put to great use in heaven :)

Rory you have done great things with your dash; the one between 1960 (-) and 2023. The world is a better place for your being with us. Peace.

On behalf of Fr. Scott Donahue and Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Rory Dunne.

May the angels lead him into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome him and take him to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

Our deepest condolences to Rory´s family and friends. We are saddened by the news of his passing. We first met Rory when he coached our youngest son, Peter, in hockey. Rory was quite a sight on the ice in his shorts and orange Army helmet. We admired his enthusiasm and ability to connect with the kids. He certainly loved life and was one-of-a-kind. May Rory´s family be comforted by the many expressions of sympathy that they received and by the many happy memories they have of him. Mary and Ted Machnik and family.
