He worked with the youth of high school age for centuries, teaching them to laugh and leading by example of what not to do. He was a good good good good papa and we loved him so much. Rory/Dad/Papa will be in our hearts, from now until forever. He was an amazing person from the beginning till the end. He was a part of everyone's life in a loveable way. Rory loved to play games with grandkids, family and especially D&D with his friends. He was a beloved person to many people throughout his life. Rory was great at teaching (by his antics) his grandkids what not to do at the dinner table. We miss you!
