Randall James "Randy" Goss

Randy´s obituary speaks for itself, exhibiting the qualities of a mature Christian man in a lifetime of service. He was courageous and faithful in his battle with ALS, confident in his salvation through Jesus Christ. His good nature and generous heart will be greatly missed.

I knew Randy from Calvary Taos and always enjoyed his and Rhonda´s visits when they spent time here in Taos. Randy was a gifted teacher, and it was clear he loved Jesus deeply. I will miss his kindness and the joy he brought whenever he was here. My prayers of comfort are with his beloved wife Rhonda and the entire Goss family.

I worked with Randy at the City of Austin AWU for many, many years. He was truly one of a kind. Kind and supportive, but tough when needed; honest and straight forward, but politically astute; intellectually curious, but pragmatic; hardworking but fun loving with a keen sense of humor.

I learned from golfers in the Slavis group and my children who attend Grace Covenant Church this year that Randy was sick. He played a special role in my 41 year career at AWU. He assigned me wonderful opportunities.

My husband Ramon and I worked for Randy when he was Director of Water and Wastewater in Austin. We both had great admiration for him, and were very sad to hear of his passing. We send sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

To the family of a Fellow Austin Water Utility retiree, my sincere condolences to you all and may God keep him in His everlasting Grace. Randy was greatly respected by me during my tenure at the Utility. Randy was a believer and supporter in my contributions to innovate the Utility towards automation. May God, comfort you lose!

Wow, Randy was an outstanding guy in every way. We worked together on several projects and he will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to him and the family.

A man of great stature he was a "gentle giant" whose love for Jesus oozed grace and intentional acts of love. Thankful for his generous impact on my life and holding Rhonda and his family close in my prayers.
