What a blessing Randy was to know and to be around. Randy, worked Monday and Tuesday with my Mom (Helen Robison) and his Aunt Janice for the Federated Church Springfield Senior Center making meatloaf that just wouldn't cook. But with everyone's opinion the meatloaf finished and Randy graciously served the meal with a smile.
Randy, you are now free from all pain and suffering. Your truly are an angel know that you will always be remembered as a friend and family.
Prayers are with the family,
Kathy (Robison) Vaux - Paden and family

I am so sorry about Randy's passing. He is so much a part of my memories since my very first days at Edinboro University. There was always so much fun and laughter when Randy was around. He would always do anything for any of us. My heart goes out to all of his family. You are on my heart and in my prayers.
