One of the great Basement dwellers. Very sad to hear of his passing. People don’t get any friendlier than Tory. A great dude!

Tory was such an individual! This memory is 1 that Tory shared with me. Ernie Marquez and his Family use yo grow 🍅 on the side of Smith Mountain, if I'm correct it was about 120 acres. Big patch! Again, if my memory serves me they used Mules for the better part of they're work instead of tractors because of the hillside. That's the story I got.
They ues to have an End of season party and Tory was asked to cook for it. So he had a whole Lamb on a spit and about 4-5 Turkeys as well. So with all the additions of fun involved at a point the Turkeys were literally on 🔥 from the drippings. Someone tried to point this out to Tory several times till Tory finally gave a response of "Fuck the Turkeys we got Lamb!" He was right! If there was Lamb we didn't need anything else. 
Many years later when deep frying Turkeys for Thanksgiving was being pushed little Tory saw an add on TV promoting this Thanksgiving thought and said to his Dad, "we should try that this year" and Tory's response was, oh we did that years ago leaving the rest of the story out for little Tory.
That was Tory and boy could Tory do Lamb!!
Always the best!!
My/Our hearts are with you and  are still trying to accept this sad loss. Tory will always be on my heart to carry me forward.
