Not sure what to say?

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.

Randy was such a pleasure to work with. He was always making us laugh and keeping us on our toes! We are very blessed to have him as part of the GCI family. He will be missed by all. God Speed Randy!

Always and forever deep within my heart ❤

Ol Randy.... It was great getting to know you. You will always be a part of our team. I hope you are laying on a beach in heaven, keeping an eye on all of us. Rest in peace my friend.

May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,

May your memories of Randy Gunter, give you peace, comfort and strength

Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom.
You will not be forgotten...
My thoughts
and prayers to the family of .

US Army Veteran, Randy...

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.

My dear Uncle Randy,
I wish I had stayed closer to you when we had the time.
I know you are in heaven. Kiss everyone for me.
I love you

Rest in peace my love. Until we meet again in Heaven
