Joan and family – we are so sorry for your loss…Randy was a great, funny man and will be missed by all who knew him. My parents have been such good friends of yours for so long I feel like you're extended family - we are so sad for losing Randy - you both are such an important part of Mom & Dad's life, at home and winters in Florida, and there were many fun times with Dan, Coley & Randy on the golf course. Things will never be the same without him, but we believe Randy is in a better place and we’ll all see him again someday – with our deepest sympathy for your loss….
