Our sincerecondolences to Ahirley and the family. We met Randy in the fall of 2022 when connecting with Shirley who I´ve known since Jr high. Randy was super nice and interested in our old fashioned sock knitting machines. We had such a nice visit. We are so sorry he is gone now, but are grateful we got to visit with him that day. Hugs to the family. Brenda Sheridan (Forsythe) and Phil

I´m so sorry to hear about Randy´s passing. It is sad to think my schoolmates are at that age when passing is possible for all of us. I remember while in school we were heading towards the doors for recess and I overheard Randy telling his buddies that he split his pants and was glad the teacher didn´t call him up in front of the class during class time. I´m sorry I missed seeing him last September at Jubitz with some of the gang. May the Lord wrap you in love-and peace during this...

Prayers to the family. I've known Randy for just over 24 years he was a neighbor and a friend. He was always so kind and nice to all, he will be missed

I knew Randy as a friend in my younger years in the Mt. Tabor area. Remembering visits to his Grandmother towards the Coast. She would make fresh applesauce. Randy loved putting Models together. We worked on a big wooden Ship. He loved to go running. Steve Fontaine was his friend. Randy was a very caring gentleman. His family will be in my thoughts. Love Ilse C.

So Sorru to hear. RIP Randy, I went to HS with Randy and only talked a couple of time ls in the past two years. But Randy never changed, he was a nice guy in HS and stayed a nice guy. Prayers to his family Dennis Tune

As an Interior Designer I have known Randy for years as the Architectural Representative for Benjamin Moore Paints. An excellent speaker. We just finished commiserating and shoring our hospital stays via messenger. He went back to redo the surgery on his toes Sympathy to his family.

I went to high school with Randy reconnected in later years. He was such an inspiration; loved the stories he would post. I know you´re home with Jesus no more sickness. God Speed my friend

I was fortunate enough to work with Randy for almost twenty years at Benjamin Moore & Co. With his wry sense of humor, keen wit, and a resolute dedication to duty, Randy always kept it interesting!
