Randall Kreiling

Pensées affectueuses en souvenir de notre amour de jeunesse. Claudia.

This is such sad news. Randy was a couple of years older than myself, but I will never ever forget the sight of him literally flying off of the high diving board at CC of P. After first thinking the board was going to snap in two, he would soar to incedible heights before knifing into the water. Aside from his terrific athletic ability, what guts!!
When looking at colleges, I narrowed my choices to SMU and U. of Florida. For my visit to SMU, Randy was my host for the weekend. ...

Randy and I met the first day of law school - we were the only two guys in the room without a coat and tie. We became best friends and I introduced him to the cattle business and commodity trading. The obit captures Randy's zest for life though UNDERSTATES it a bit. He'll be missed AND remembered. Clark & Jane

I was so sad to learn of Randy's death. I knew him growing up in Peoria, where we were teammates for wonderful summer swimming and diving seasons. Randy was so full of energy - clearly marked for an interesting life! He was a special man, and I am so sorry he has left us. My sympathy and condolences to his children and family.

I was very saddened to hear of Randy's passing. We swam together at the YMCA as kids, against each other in the summer at our clubs, and against each other in high school. We remained friends throughout that time. Our families were always good friends starting with our dads as kids.

I also remember his Elvis imitations and he had the Elvis sneer spot-on. Randy introduced me to Robin McCord in 7th grade, and we used to go see Robin every so often. I would dance with Robin, and...

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Randy's death. Randy and I first met when we were about 3 or 4 and we were best friends all the way through grade school. We then went to different high schools but remained good friends all the way through college. I have so many fun, wonderful memories of Randy. My fondest memories...hours of playing basketball in his driveway, playing cowboys and Indians, long adventuresome bike rides, watching his Elvis imitations ( which he thought were better...

The Kreiling's were friends of ours from the time Randy's father and our dad went to high school together. Randy and my brother Dave were good swimming buddies (and swimmers ARE the best athletes!!) . He lived quite a life after leaving Peoria. So sad to lose him so early. Our condolences to the family.

Played football with Randy for four years at Central. Last saw him in 1975 at the Peoria airport when he was on his way to Geneva. Randy was a true "renassiance man". Very sorry we never had contact after 1975. Life is to short. My deepest sympathy to his family and close friends.

My condolences to Randy's family and friends. It is truly sad to know that we won't see him again. Randy and I used to have spirited discussions whether swimmers or wrestlers were the best all around conditioned athletes. Our athletic pictures are on facing pages of our senior yearbook. In 1979, while riding a motorcycle around Europe, I stopped to see him in Geneva, but he was taking care of business back in the states.

Now, we won't have an opportunity to continue our debate....
