Knowing Randy the last 10 years has enlightened me as to how a person with a debilitating disease can still maintain a wonderful outlook on life, knowing their time with the Lord is forthcoming. Randy was gifted in many ways and it was a priviledge to have known him and to have been able to have called him a friend.
