I worked many years with Randy, in several different businesses, and always considered him a truly decent human being. I'm sorry to say we lost contact when our work lives took us apart. I will remember him fondly.

I have often wondered where Randy was... He was the best president Lawyers Mutual had. He was employee oriented and a very caring person. I considered him a friend as well as a "boss." My sympathies to you & your family, Lisa. I remember you when you were a girl - When Randy worked with us. I am still at Lawyers Mutual. I will be praying for your family.

Lisa and Scott, was so sorry to hear about Randys death last night. I am in
Duck and got a call. We loved seeing
him after he moved to Camden, but then
we didn't hear from him. Had heard he
was visiting friends in Richmond.
He did tell me that you all had moved
to Wilmington. He was a special dear
friend. Jessiebeth
