Duner,
My dear friend, it's hard to believe that it's been 47 years since we first met at class registration in Cobleskill. We had such great fun and those memories will never fade. You married Cheryl, the love of your life, and together you made a beautiful family with three sons that gave you such pride and joy. And how your family has grown with marriages and grandchildren, what a wonderful blessing. You had a successful career and along the way gained many great friends. The outdoors was always a passion and you were able to share it with those you love. By all accounts my friend, you have lived a full life and your legacy will live on. May the Lord bless Cheryl and your family and may God hold you in the palm of his hands till we meet again in a better place. Your Pal, Ben

I will always think of Randy as a wonderful father and husband. He was very involved in his sons lives and I know he loved the many walks and cross-country ski outings he made with his beloved wife Cheryl.
Rest in peace Randy. May research, donations and prayers spare others the trials you went through before graduating to Heaven.
Thank you for being a great neighbor to my parents Bill and Mary Egan.

Cheryl, Randy will be missed in our everyday lives at Peregrine Senior Living @ Clifton Park. My life has been touched by knowing Randy, you and your lovely family. Most memorable is the love you shared, renewal of your vowels, Randy singing to the "oldies but goodies" and is little laugh that would come out from nowhere. May God Bless you Cheryl and guide you through this difficult time.
