I'm very sorry to hear of Randy's passing. I worked with him until he retired in 2020. He was a very thoughtful and caring man who was so proud of his daughters and grandchildren. I am grateful I had the opportunity to work with him and call him a friend. You will be missed Randy!

I want to pass along that Randy was an amazing person. New to the office, he took me under his wing and told me how to do it right. Thank you Randy for all the great memories. And yes, I will follow your motto.
"Stay in your lane".
