Was in Coach Ory's American history class. Probably the only student he had who's book report on nuclear weapons was confiscated by US Secret Service....True story...Coach O was great teacher, everyone's favorite. Thanks coach for being part of our younger years...ever remembered....

Coach Ory allowed this skinny freshman with no confidence to make the freshmen basketball team in 1987. Without that opportunity, who knows where I would be. But, I do know that I will always be grateful for that opportunity and the lessons learned throughout my academic and athletic career at Baker High School as a result of Coach Ory giving me that opportunity.
I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. After reading the obituary, I know that the communion of saints has grown stronger with Coach Ory's addition.

Beverly and family,
We are so sorry to hear about your husband and Dad. Richie was a friend to many and he was certainly someone that we called a friend. May God comfort you in this time of separation. We love you.

Just saying Richie Ory brings a smile to my face, what a wonderful man. I couldn't say Richie without saying Ory. I had to be careful because usually Richie Barker was close by. You will be missed. Prayers for the family.

My brother Roger loved Coach Ory when he was at school and graduated in 1981. When I started at Baker High, I had Coach for Geography and he still had fond memories of my brother. He was a great teacher, made us smile, of course he didn’t deny having a paddle if someone were to act out (wasn’t a big issue back then). I don’t think he ever had to enforce it in my class. Every time I saw coach he was always great and remembered me, as I’m sure he remembered all his students. My prayers go out to his family and Mrs. Beverly and Angie who I knew more. Lots of love during this time.

What an incredible life Coach Ory lead. He was my teacher and football coach at Baker High. He taught me much more than just academics, he taught me about respect and honor. I’m not ashamed to say that I received my fair share of paddling from Coach, believe me they were well deserved. Later in life I met up with him at Clark Golf Course, wow what a wonderful day that was! We talked for hours about life and God and our family’s. I’m not even sure that I played golf that day. I wish I could have put into words then what I’m feeling now.
Thanks Coach Ory, I will never forget you!
