Dear Scott,
I worked with Rory at The Macy’s stores in Las Vegas. I have thought of him many times throughout the years. Here it is 20 years since I’ve seen him, watching a movie where 6 minutes into it I find the main character name to be Rory who also looks like our Rory. This triggered me to paused the movie and see if I can find any contact details.
I was very sad to see that he passed in 2019. He was an amazing leader and wonderful human being.
My sincerest belated condolences to you, his parents and sisters.

Dear Scott,
My name is Kathy McConville. I had the Extreme pleasure of working with Rory many years ago when he was the store manager of the Macy’s Las Vegas Store.
For some reason I was thinking of Rory this evening and decided to see if I could find some contact information on line.
Unfortunately I read of his passing.
Scott, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Rory was a gentle soul, a true gift from God. Here it is thirty years later and I am still thinking of him.
My prayers tonight will be for you......
Peace be with you.....

My heartfelt sympathies go out to your family during this difficult time. I hope the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring much comfort. Just knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
