Ronnie O'Rourke
Ronnie was one of the most universally liked "Original 14" Band members. As the Band's first Assistant Band Master Ronnie became the voice of the group. He believed in change, not just doing it like every one else.
Ronnie was an active member of both the Band and the Society, and was an officer in both. His 6'4" height and boyish looks made him very popular. Ronnie's disposition matched his looks. He was always happy and friendly.
Ronnie O' was the band first member to be accepted in the Ring of Honor. His premature death at the age of 43 forced the band to formulate its Funeral Procedures.
May Saint Patrick watch over him.
