To the Weaver Family,
Please accept my hearth felt wishes of condolence and sympathy. I met Randy while serving as an instructor at the UH 60 School. Words from me can not begin to explain his devotion to the school house of Aviation Maintainers and Instructors. As a Senior NCO, I was privileged to learn many things from Randy. Though our path went in different directions, as military life usually does, I will remember always Randy's dedication to Service, Family and Country.
