Our prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow. We had the pleasure of waiting on Randy at the Member One on 460. He was constantly smiling and a joy to talk to. We always enjoyed hearing of his adventurous travels and the love of his life, Sandy. Randy will be greatly missed.

My condolences to the family. I first met Randy at Memorial High and then lost touch until one summer day in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I came out of the motel room that morning and Randy was coming out of the room next to ours. We were both with our families on much needed vacations. We visited and he shared some of his "Pearls of Wisdom". Randy was a good man and will be missed by many.

My condolences and prayers go out to Randy's wife, children and grandchildren. My last encounter with Randy was at the Memorial High School 40th reunion. After the Saturday night party, Randy and a few others and my husband and I sat around the piano in the lobby and sang the oldies from the 60's. He was such a sparkling person; we will greatly miss his presence at the 45th reunion. Those of us who have known him for the past 44 years have many fond memories of Randy. Am sure his family has enough to last for a lifetime.

Randy was such great character - mischief with a twinkle in his eye. I'll certainly miss seeing Randy at the next Memorial High School reunion. But I will remember him well for all my life.

Randy has been my friend for over 45 years and he will be missed. We had many good times together in high school and college where we were roommates for a year. Randy was so lucky to have met Sandy. She has been wonderful and always took very good care of him. God Bless you Randy and God Bless your family.

Randy was one of my best ever friends. My childhood would not have been the same if it were not for Randy. Fortunately I have memories that will live forever. We had fun.
