My condolences go to Randy's family. I worked with Randy at AHCCCS and he was a wonderful person with a good heart. His story-telling and humor always lifted my spirits if I was having a bad day at work. Randy will be dearly missed.

I knew Randy for nearly 10 years at AHCCCS. He could always make me smile and laugh, and is the only person I knew who walked slower than I did. His clothing was impeccable business casual, and he could (and would) tell you who (usually male) wore the same shoes every day for years. He taught me how to "field strip" a cigarette, and told me details about every plane that flew over AHCCCS. He was one of a kind, and I miss him.

Randy was always a special guy at AHCCCS, he always had a smile on his face, and treated everyone as if they were his closest friends! I always enjoyed our conversations.

Randy, I’m glad I worked there while you were there -

My thoughts and Prayers are with your family.

Rest In peace our dear friend and neighbor. The time you and your family moved to Magnolia, Ark. was a gift from God to me. Christy had just been diagnosed with leukemia and I needed my heart to be lifted off the floor.Peggy and the girls did this for me and gave me my life back. I will forever be grateful and the day your family left was one of the sadest days in my life. You and your family are a gift from God. I hope you can now rest and be strong again..Love Jenny Hodge

Good-bye my dear friend.

I also worked with Randy at AHCCCS. He seemed to always be smiling (he really loved to pick on Donna McNeely he got a big kick out of doing that.)My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. I believe we will see him again so it's not good bye it's until we see you again.

God Bless,

Thank you Randy for touching my life with your smile and humor. I will always remember how you would stop at my my desk and say "Hello Kiddo" to me. Your cheerful laugh will be missed. Sleep well my friend.

My condolences to the LaMarsh family. I worked with Randy at AHCCCS. He use to bring over security forms to me for my health plans. He would joke, stop and have a snack or two during some of our pot lucks. I would walk to see him in the next building just to get a few laughs. Randy was a wonderful person. He will be missed dearly.

Having been stationed with Randy in Germany, I will never forget the first time he took me skiing, we got to the top of the Zugspitz, in Southern Bavaria, he said point your skis down and go...He was the greatest and will certainly be missed!!!!!

I will always remember how Randy walked me to my car at work (AHCCCS) and we would talk about every topic imaginable. Of course we'd seen and talked to each other several times already during the day, with Randy picking up from me and delivering system security paperwork. He was an engineer from the University of Illinois and loved to tease me about my "dull" alma mater and Big 10 rival Purdue. Randy had a heart of gold beneath that gruff exterior... He loved his family and would tell me about the BD parties and holiday gatherings he had at his home. Randy was a one-of-a-kind! I miss him and will always remember him fondly. My sympathies to his family. We lost a good one.
