Obituary

Roderick "Rory" Burrows, 47, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, March 24, 2021, with his family and loyal friend, Patrick Cruise by his side after a long battle with cancer.

He was also an avid downhill skier and storyteller, but where Rory shined the most was on the baseball diamond. Rory was a devoted fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, and Jerry Garcia. For over thirty years Rory was a proud member of Pipefitters 537.  

Rory leaves behind his wife, Kerry and his beloved sons, Rory 11, and Kevin 8. He is the son of the late Roderick Burrows Sr. and Joyce Norton Burrows of Hanson.
