Randy my brother, im stunned and shocked that you are no longer with us. You are such a good friend and helped me through the toughest time in my life. We had a wonderful time at Thanksgiving and the kids so enjoyed your company. Im going to miss you old friend, we have had a long friendship, since 1978 and we both looked forward to serving the L-rd together and teaching the Hebriac roots of the faith as the jew and gentile team. Ive got some big shoes to fill now that you are with Adonai Yeshua HaMessiach. I love you brother and will miss you! Untill we meet again, Shalom Ach Shalom!

Wow! I am shocked and had no idea...we never do, do we? He was a young guy! I am Blessed to have recorded two songs with Randy on his CD. In fact, he had told me a few years prior that I would be recording two CD's. Well, he is in the great cloud of wittnesses chearing us on now! You will be missed.
