I had the pleasure of sharing a desk with Randy at work for about 2 years. The stories we exchanged and all the laughs we had is something that'll stick with me for the rest of my life. I can promise 1 thing, there will never be a better mustache at stirling ultracold. We'll see down the road brother.

I didn't know Randy very well. I spoke more often to Peggy when I walked my dog in the neighborhood, but what I did know is that he was always nice and friendly and took care of their property diligently.
