I Love You and will miss you Uncle Randy! I Love You Paula!

Randy is so much more than a friend to me, he is my brother. We adopted each other, like David and Jonathan. We enjoyed many days together, traveling, golfing, riding motorcycles, eating out with our wonderful wives and just spending time together. He gave me great comfort and strength during times of stress and pain in my live. I hope I gave him some, too.

We will miss him greatly, but we will always have his memory in our hearts.

We also have the promise of Our Father God, through Our Savior, Jesus Christ, that we will be together again, for eternety, in Heaven.

Paula, our sister, you and all of your family are in our prayers for comfort, strength and wisdom.

We love you.
