I worked with Randy and Tracey at the Burns Harbor Truck Stop. I have known his family since we moved up here to Gary, Randy was always kind and gentle. I am sorry for your loss. He was one of the hidden angels who keep this world going.

Randy was a warm and interesting person and a talented stylist. We had such good conversations about entertaining, food, the Lake Station Mexican grocery, politics and movies. He was so good about fitting me into his schedule when I didn't plan far enough ahead to make a timely appointment. Once when I had surgery, he came to my house to cut my hair because I couldn't drive. I know that he affected so many lives and had a good and generous spirit. My sympathies to his family and friends. Randy will be remembered and loved for years and years to come.
