You have my deepest sympathy and having seen Randy at BKI many times, he always was a polite gentleman. He may not have known everyone's name but he respected your work and you could truly tell how he loved his job and he knew our equipment. I am so glad to have known him. My thoughts are with the family that I know who's hearts are breaking.

Kevin, I am so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. Pancreatic cancer is a difficult journey. I pray that God may bring comfort to your family as you grieve the loss of your brother. I still remember passing by the Allen house, every time I would visit Aunt Oveda and Uncle JM. Good times growing up in Shelby, for sure. I don’t come that way often since my parents are gone, except for the occasional run to Alston’s for BBQ.
I am still working at FUMC-Gastonia but I have finally graduated...

It was a blessing knowing Mr. Allen. He could make you laugh or "light up the room" per say. He had a generous side to him as well. I know Cathy will miss him deeply. Prayers are being lifted up for the family in the days ahead-

Cathy and Family,
I am sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. While I never met him, I have enjoyed hearing the stories from Cathy of just how much he loved his family, and how much they loved him. I pray that as time goes on you all can feel peace in knowing he is no longer sick and in pain.
