May God give you strength during this very difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Lt. at the prison. He was a by the book no nonsense man. What a great man and I admired him greatly. Just know.

We are saddened to hear of Randy's passing. He was such a fixture when the weather turned warmer, sitting on the bench on the front porch, exchanging words with all that passed by. It was a pleasure to have known him and we pray that the Lord will give you comfort during this difficult time.
