Randy and I were old friends from Durham in high school and college but lost touch over the years. His picture in the newspaper jumped right out at me this morning.

Mrs. Aiken and Doug - I am so sorry for your loss, and that I did not do a better job at trying to keep up.

Randy and yourselves will be in my thoughts and prayers

Randy and Doug were my first friends when I moved to N. C. Randy ultimately became a Lambda Chi fraternity brother at State. Although we lost touch over the years I am deeply saddened by his loss but have fond memories of some of our adventures growing up together.
