I just recently learned about Randy's passing. I worked with Randy as early as 1978 when he was an Associate with PBNA Architects, now BNIM Architects.
Randy took me under his wing and taught me the importance of keeping the bar high. Randy was a major influence in the path of my career as a young Architect.
Later, our paths crossed again when Randy was one of the lead Architects with BNIM on the $1 billion Sprint World Headquarters Campus in Overland Park.
I was saddened to learn of Randy's passing. However, my memories of Randy brings a smile to my face and a warmth to my heart.
You will be missed by many. Thank you for being my mentor for so many years my friend.

Dear Kathy,
My heart goes out to you and your family in your loss. Though I never met Randy, you brought him into conversation so easily, happily, lovingly that the strength of your connection came through. I hope in the days to come that that connection, though deeply sad to lose, will sustain all of you somehow. My thoughts are with you Kathy.
Love,
Carol

Kathy - I am sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and your family. Randy was great to work with and a great lunch buddy! I worked with Randy for four years on projects in Doha. We just had lunch at Papus a few weeks ago. For the record, not that Randy was a bad driver, but I always volunteered to drive for lunch after the first NASCAR experience he provided me in his Smart Car :) I don't think that vehicle was meant to go that fast :) His wit, laughter, and smile will be missed but not forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. Although he was a couple of years behind me at K-State, he was one of those guys you always noticed and remembered for his enthusiasm and talent. It was not until about 30 years later that our paths crossed at KU Medical Center where he brought that same spirit, talent and great personality. We were all blessed to have had him in our lives and his passing is way too soon. May God grant you and your family peace during this difficult time.

I was saddened to hear about Randy's passing this morning and he will truly be missed. He was a great guy and it was a privilege to work with him at KU Med Center in Facilities Planning. For those of us that are architects, it is so much fun to work with people that know what they are doing and always pushed the envelope, and Randy did. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our true condolences to all of the family. Randy was part of the team of architects (PBNDML)formed to pursue the Truman State Office Building in Jefferson City, Mo. and it was on that project and we met. I enjoyed working with Randy and will always remember him in very positive way. As the client's representative I was privileged to work with Randy and his co-workers.

My condolences to the Endecott Family on Randy's passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know Randy while working on the Sprint Headquarters Design Team. He was a gentleman and gracious host to me and fellow architects from out of town who called Kansas City metro our home away from home for several years.

My sincere condolences to everyone! I regret I have other commitments for Monday, but for that I would be there for a last farewell.
I knew Randy from the early days together in architecture, and Randy crewed with me racing C-Scows at Lake Lotawana. We lost touch when I became Corporate Architect for Executive Hills, but I know we have all lost a fine human being, architect and family man.
