Sandi, Brian, Debbie & Steve,
I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man! I loved his smile, laughter, and laid back demeanor! He was so much fun to be around and to listen to his stories. He always had a big smile on his face. Every time I hear Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf I always thought of Randy from back in the days when I stayed all night at Aunt Betty and Uncle Howard's house. I know they are holding Randy in their arms right now with a big smile!

I am so sorry and shocked to hear about Randy's passing. He lived down the block from us when we were kids (Osburn) - in Springfield. Was always a nice guy and very well liked. May the many precious memories you have of him comfort all of you during this difficult time. God bless you and rest in peace my friend.
