I am so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. It was great to see Randy and Kerry at our 30th high school reunion last summer. My deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to Randy's family and friends.

Randy will be truly missed. Randy was always willing to help out in any way and never hesitated to offer his opinion. We were fortunate enough to have traveled with Randy and Steve to a World Series tournament last summer in Tenneessee. We have many fond memories of that trip. Many of which contained laughter because of Randy. Sitting in the CyCreek stands without him will never be the same. There is not a dad more passionate or vocal about his son playing ball. We will miss him and are honored to have known him.

We were deeply heartbroken, and affected by Randy's passing. His humor, and dedication to the boys of baseball will be remindered for many, many years to come. To reflect on how many young athletes he positively affected with his love for baseball is truly a testimony to his life. His company on the benches will be sorely missed by many parents. We extend our prayerful support during your time of loss. Love, Jesse, Liz, and Jay Berrones.

It is so hard to believe that we will not be able to see Randy at another baseball game taking those stats on his palm. He is going to be so terribly missed in the community. He was such a devoted father and husband. Randy we are going to miss you.

It was truly an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to know and work with Randy. His humor and wit were exceeded only by his love and pride for his wife, children and Oklahoma. I really enjoyed our in depth discussions about the "coaching" changes needed at

Cy-Creek! Randy had a plan! He will be missed tremendously. My heart felt sympathy and prayers go out to his family. May God strengthen and comfort you during this time.
