So sorry for your loss. Randy was a good friend when we were growing up. He was a couple years older, but would alway invite me in to a game of wiffle or to play "war" with the other kids in the neighborhood. I lived at 32 State, and he lived directly behind on Tyng. A good guy that I lost touch with through the years, but will alway remember him as a gentle giant. RIP
