Kim and family,
I just wanted to share that I feel privileged having known Randall. We only met face to face a few times throughout the years, but thru our long conversations dealing with business and life, I felt I knew him well. He was always willing to give 110% when needed and he also was open to sharing his faith, which was so refreshing! He will be missed.... God Bless

We only knew Randall a short time but in that time we had enjoyed him as a good friend and neighbor. Rarely have we found someone of Randall's caliber, He was a decent and caring man of deep faith. We immediately came to respect and love him.

Randall had a keen mind, a huge, generous heart and a sincere, humble soul. Our conversations kept God ever-present. His dedication to others, his willingness to serve, his integrity and his strength of character remain guideposts to what a man can be. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I am grateful to have known him and he will be truly missed.
