Dear Linda, Randy and Ginger, What a great guy your Dad was. He made everyone feel they were the most important person in the room. I will treasure my memories of him at the computer in his later years, playing cards and kidding around. he had such a zest for life. He loved you and your family so much. God Bless you and your family.

Coach Randolph was one of my favorite teachers at Bolles during my years there. He never failed to make me feel as though I were special and appreciated. I will surely miss him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. He was a wonderful human being and I feel blessed to have had him as part of my life.

Dear Mrs. Randolph, Ginger, Randy and the rest of your family:

My sincere condolences for your great loss. Although I didn't attend the Bolles School as a student, I had many close friends who did. Years ago, I was an annual attendee of Bolles Day Camp during many summers during the 1970s. I will always remember Coach Randolph. He was a dedicated family man who also taught the young campers how to respect others. The atmosphere that the entire Randolph family created at the day...

Mrs. Randolph and family,

Words cannot describe how much Mr. Randolph meant to Bolles, Jacksonville, and to Julie and me. He was a wonderful teacher, person, and most of all a wonderful friend. We will always carry the special memories of the time we spent with Mr. Randolph in our hearts. The Bolles family has lost a true gentleman in every sense of the word and we will always remember that about him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

God Bless

Dear Linda and Kids:

I received notice today (Mon.)of Somers passing. I have so many fond memories of my time at Bolles, and thanks to Somers at Vanderbilt, as well. I will always consider him a mentor, coach, father, and friend. Only wish I could be there to celebrate his life and the happiness that he brought everyone he touched. My love to you all....

Dear Linda, Ginger and Randy,
"Soms" (as I always called him) was near and dear to my heart throughout my years at Bolles. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him that well as a student but came to know, love, and respect him when we both worked in the Bolles Development Office. His commitment and love of Bolles is his greatest legacy - he is the standard bearer in that regard. I am so thankful I was able to talk with you both this year at the football game. Please know Dean, Alex and I...

Mrs. Randolph,
Coach Randolph was an integral part of my life not only while at Bolles but continues to be today. He taught me many things, but the greatest thing was to have fun. Please know that you are in my families prayers, and I am a better person for knowing your husband.

God Bless, Lindy

Somers was one of the first members of the wonderful family we built over the years as the Bolles Community. His contributions to that sense of caring and mutual commitment to our students and the School are invaluable and lasting.

Dear Linda, Ginger, and Randy,

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Also, be consoled by the fact that Somers was loved, even adored, by the many students and friends that he touched over the years. He made a significant positive difference in the lives of so many. We now must concentrate on the blessing of caring thoughts and in the cherished memories of someone who indeed was special!

With love and sympathy,

Ed, David, and...
