Rand came out to play basketball with our friends on Saturday afternoons in San Francisco for years.
We would play for hours every Saturday afternoon until the sun would set. We developed a level of camaraderie that will be remembered forever.
We are torn to learn about his passing. We wish everyone around him well during such tough times in the pandemic.
Rand will never be forgotten as a member of our basketball brotherhood.

An exceptional young man. Humorous, intelligent and engaging. As parents, Rand was the kind of kid we hope our kids turn out to be like. Rand was exceptional indeed...because of his parents and brother, Mike, Sharon & Brett...and the extended family. That family provided Rand with a loving, nurturing, encouraging and funny environment. That environment helped make Rand who he was. The only solace we can feel at this time, is that the same family...that same environment described...will ultimately help each other to get through this. We love you guys very much. Vale, Rand.
