I am so sorry for your loss.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
My love to your and mother and father and son
Love and peace be with you.

Rory was a great friend. His constant smile, positive attitude, and love of life, even in the face of adversity, will be missed. He was always up to the challenge, I don’t remember an assignment or personal challenge he ever turned down, (Unless it had "cats" in the sentance). He cared deeply for others and was always the first to volunteer when someone was in need.
Rory is a great man. I’m sure he is, even now, taking on new and challenging assignments. He always talked highly of his family and his great love for them and desire to always be with them.

My condolences to you and your family upon the loss of your brother.It has been quite awhile since we left the big K. Rory always tried to perform his best and I’m sure he was a fine EMT. If he enjoyed model railroading he would be the engineer !

I have many fond memories of Rory, he will always have a special place in my heart. He was always very sweet and tender to everyone he came in contact with. I especially will always cherish singing "The Rose" with him while he played piano and also dancing crazy with him at all of our parties back in the day. I am saddened and I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss and I pray that Jehovah God will provide comfort for you all through this very difficult time. May the love and strength of your family and friends surround you in the weeks and months ahead.
With caring thoughts, prayers, and sympathy.

We are deeply saddened for the lose of your son and such a good friend he was to our family. It’s been I don’t know how long since we have seen him last and was always wondering where he was and what he was doing with himself. But to get a phone call at 6am from my husband Wayne telling me the sad news my heart dropped. I am sure that Jonathan is having a rough time dealing with the lose of his Father but your family has pretty much raised him since birth so he has lots of support. Please tell him that I am thinking about him and that one day we might run into each other out here somewhere in this crazy world. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family….
With our deepest sympathy:

Dear Welch Family,
I remember Rory well from MCHS. I’m very sorry for your loss. May God fill you peace and understanding during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Abby Bloomberg (MCHS – 1985)
Sorry to hear of Rory’s passing. Always enjoyed the laughter he brought Mike and myself while growing up. I’m certain he had proud parents and was a great brother to Joe, Rich and Todd. Rest in peace Rory.
