I had the opportunity to interview Randy for an article for Code One. He was involved in some amazing projects. He had an amazing career and life. From what I have learned since, he was also an amazing family man and human being. The world needs more people like this.

John and family, so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My Mother, Pat Pendleton knew your parents back in the Ridglea Hills Elementary days. My Mom also is 88 and graduated from LSU the same year as your father. Isn't it a small world. Your Dad had an amazing life and his contributions to the aeronautics industry made an impact to GD/LM as well as the military, our country, and internationally. Now everytime I see an F16 or F22 I will remember your Dad.

Randy was my boss on both the F-16XL and the F-22 - he was one of the finest men I ever knew or worked for.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to David Randall Kent, Jr. our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for David. And to David it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving as in the U.S. Army. David, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to David's family and loved ones.

I worked with Randy at GD in the sixties. If I came to work a little down, he always had a way to brighten it. God bless him.
