I first met Randy Dale when he was around 15, his Mom became my best life-long friend. I watched as he met the Love of his life, Pam and watched as they had four beautiful children. He grew into a wonderful Man, strong, loyal, honorable and very much loved human being. Randy would and has done anything to lend a helping hand to friends and strangers, who soon became his friends. I have seen his wonderful sense of humor lighten a troubled heart. He came from very good stock! I wish I could lighten the hearts of his family now, but I know someday they will be with him and he will always be there to watch over them. To Anna and Glen and Pam and all his children and his little grandchildren, I wish you Peace of Heart. God Bless you all.

I met the Lower's when I was about 10 years old. Randy and his family were always very good to me through the years. When I got older, Randy would always work on my junkers that I bought. He would do what he could to keep them running, but would laugh at me when it was time to buy another. He always knew it would just be a matter of time before I would be back for repairs.
Randy will be missed by all. All of my love and prayers go out to Pam, the kids, Anna & Glen and the rest of the family. I love you all.

I had known Randy for the last decade or more. He was very good friends with my dad, Tom Robertson. Three years ago, Randy came to my home as Santa, and my daughter Brooke still talks about it. He WAS Santa to her, and probably always will be. The Santa who came to her house, gave her a candy, and "Knew my name, Dad."

Randy was a really good guy. He will be missed by many. I will forever treasure the video of Randy as Santa here in the house.

All those who knew Randy will surely miss him, he came to my aid when my starter went out in my car many years ago, but he was always willing to help anyone who needed his help. He was a very careing man the family should be very proud to have had him, as a son, brother, husband, father, and grampa. Our prayers are with the family.
