Sandy, Mike, and Sean. I am an old college friend of Mike's, but met all of you and spent a few nights at your home many years ago. Randy was one of those people in my life I liked him the instant I met him. I was saddened to hear of your great loss. I lost my father about a year ago. It’s not an easy road and you will miss him every day. Smile at the good memories and remember he will always be a part of your life. Best wishes and prayers to all of you.

Sandy, Michael and Sean,
Sandy, you know I will be here for you, night or day just call. Michael and Sean, I lost my mom 3 months ago and I know what you are going through now. Stay close to each other and you will draw strength from each other. You had a great Dad and you have a great Mom too. Your mom needs you now more than ever. My favorite saying is "If the Lord brings you to it he will bring you through it". You and your families are all in my prayers.

I have wonderful memories of Randal from the 7th and 8th grades when he was my best friend. Many adventures on my farm driving tractors and trying to rope the cows. My condolences to the Cook family.Gary Henneberry

I worked with Randy years ago at A.E. Staley. He was always very friendly, helpful and very smart too. He had a great sense of humor and always seemed to be smiling. His family has my deepest sympathy during this time.
