Seldom do friends get to see a greater love exhibited for their chosen profession than Randy did for agriculture and produce production.

Randy's love for that was exceeded only by his love and passion for his family and friends.

A life, far too short, will continue to serve as an inspiration for us all.

Randy's passing serves as a reminder of how fragile this gift of life really is. Yesterday tomatoes with a smile, today but a memory of a good friend. I'll keep those memories that I am sure will make me smile in the future, today is for tears and warm wishes for the family.
