They moved to Sacramento, CA in 1965 where Rory and his siblings received their education. Rory was an inquisitive person who liked to learn new things. By the age of seven he learned to change a tire and would unassembled radios, watches and stereos then reassemble them to figure out how they worked. Rory loved music and had a knack for playing chords on the piano which we attributed to genes from his father, Harold and grandfather who were musicians.
