Randy was my next door neighbor and a good friend..He is a Christian and is with Jesus now. He was very skilled and loved doing projects outside including building a stocked pond and displaying antiques. He had a great garden which he offered for me to take whatever I needed and would leave nice produce on my back steps. We would share our lawn equipment . I had many conversations with him about work, family, his home in Kentucky . He was a skilled carpenter and helped me in a couple projects. I felt bad about the VA had done so little to help him with the effects of agent orange in Nam and his PSD. Thank you Randy for being a good friend brother and blessing me with good memories!

I have known Randy most of my life. We graduated highschool in 1965. He was in my wedding. I remember him as a sweet man that fought for his country during Vietnam, attending class reunions and being so proud of his children. He will be missed!
