I'm so sorry to hear about "Uncle Randy" passing. I was around him a couple years ago with my sister-in-law= Carolyn Maberry, and years ago when I was married to Mike Bridgeman-Randy was married to Mike & Carolyn's Aunt Caroline. Randy loved his family and friends, and was a good person, and will be missed terribly by Carolyn, I know.
