Uncle Randy will be greatly missed by our family. His kindness to others, especially to my Dad and his brother, B.K. will always be remembered with love. I am thankful that he knew Jesus as his Lord and Savior and that because of that, he is with him today with no more pain and a brand new heart! My sympathy goes out to Aunt Susie, his boys, their wives and his grandchildren. I pray that the Lord will ease the pain of their loss with the memory of all the wonderful times they have had with him. Goodbye Uncle Randy, I Love You and I look forward to seeing you on the other side!
