Randy gave me my first Norfolk pine, it was a tiny little tree but perfect in every way. Randy, Hoss Morgan and I all rode together to Polk Jr. College back in 1974 and what a great time it was! Randy was the happiest, funniest and most self confident person that I guess I have ever known. I only wish that I had kept in touch over the years. I am sorry for your loss but know that he is still with you in your hearts and right beside you every minute of every day! A man like Randy will never be forgotten.
