So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Rorke. I had plenty of business dealings with him when he had the store in the Mall. He was a sincere and professional individual. He always shared stories of Carbonear with me (especially about my Dad). I remember having a game of tennis with him on the court in Carbonear and he really gave me the works. My prayers are with your family at this time.

To the Rorke Family Where do I begin? I was shocked when Joy told me of Mr. Rorke's passing yesterday. It was hard to believe. My memories of Mr. Rorke span a lifetime. His picture here today has captured the smile that was ever-present on his face when I played with Diane as a young girl! I can still see him at the store tieing the parcels with string and I was amazed that he never needed any thing to cut it with. Remember the rolls of brown paper. Oddly, he had been on my mind this past week and I wondered how both he and Mrs. Rorke were doing? Just because life changes and we move on and away does not mean that folks from Patrick Street are forgotten. I even was thinking about Your Grandmother Rorke too. I remember how she called me Chrissy. The only person other than one of my nephews and two of my nieces. One of her daughters asked Mom about me when she passed on. She said Chrissy was her favourite but I already knew that from the visiting at the house and store!! It made me smile then and it makes me smile now. I am so happy to believe that Mr. Rorke, his Mom(especially) and family are all celebrating together at this reunion. While it is hard for those left behind, (and I do know your hurt) things do get easier with the belief that he is in a better place. Hold strong to the memories that love and a lifetime created. It will help! It is said that the greatest compliment that one can give a man is this: "He will be missed!!!" And he will! May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon him. So long neighbour!

I have fond memories of your dad from home in Carbonear and he'll be dearly missed. My heart goes out to you Stewart having to deal with this right now. You were a great comfort to mom and I during all of dad's ordeal and your genuine caring was second to none. We were very lucky to have you as dad's oncolgist...especially someone from home. It does get easier. Just be there for your mom. She's going to need you more than ever now. Take care and God bless you and your family, Nancy Stone

To the family, Our deepest condolences to you all. We were so very sorry to hear of Mr. Rorke's passing. Myself, having grown up with Stewart, I always found Mr. Rorke to be a very kind, gentle and loving man and then years later to have him as a neighbour on Patrick Street once again confirmed what I had already known. He was always there to lend a hand or just a kind word when needed and I am certain that's how he will be remembered by many. Again, our condolences to you all at this very sad time. I pray time and precious memories will help give you strength in the days ahead. May he rest in peace. Take care and God bless Gerry, Barb, Billy & Alexis
