Death is not the greatest loss in life . The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live. ___Norman Cousins
I believe the love of God, Pontiac and Humanity never died in Jimmie's life while he yet lived.

Almost a year after his passing I am learning of it. I loved Mr. Randolph and know he was a truly giving, kind man who helped me when I was a child and later when I was an adult. He gave me confidence when I had none. He helped me become a better person through having known him. I will always be grateful for him and remember his goodness.

To Mrs. Randolph,Tony,Ronnie,Shana and Family. I'm saddened to learn of Mr. Randolph passing. Mr. Randolph helped to develop me as a young man, not to mention that your home was my home away from home. Stressing education, watching "The Electric Company". I was introduced to Harold Melving and The Blue Notes, featuring Teddy Pendergrass at the Randolph Home.
Stay encouraged and remember that GOD does not make mistakes. Continue to lean on HIM for security and guidance.

God Bless you All.
