Martha, I was shocked and saddened to learn about Randy's passing. I only found out today.
My earliest memories of Randy are of being one of his classmates in Mrs. Wilson's 6th grade class at Cleveland Avenue School. Randy stood out as being one of the kindest and friendliest boys I knew. And he never changed during all the years I knew him. What a great guy! And what a deep loss. I was greatly blessed to have known him and to have grown up with him in school.
May the...

Martha,
I am just now finding out about Randy. So sorry. He was one of my favorite "underclassmen" in High School and I remember him always with a smile and that I always smiled when he was present. He had that affect. I have seen him only once since high school and it is truly my regret. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
