I am saddened to learn of the passing of Randolph. He was a wonderful fellow to know and talk with. He would help a person anyway he could. The kind of person that would give you the shirt off of his back if he thought you needed it. He loved country living. I remember going up to the house with him many years ago and looking at his little mule!
Please know the whole family is in my thoughts & prayers at this difficult time.
