I am greatly saddened by the passing of a great aviator and friend from our days in the Air Force at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Cheryl, I'm truly sorry that I never visited you in Idaho, and cannot fathom the depth of your grief. It must be a great help to have friends and family so close at this time of sorrow.

One of our honored BlackKnights and a true natural pilot and great friend. I recall our flights together at Ramstein and Alaska Airlines. "Hink" always had that special personality that made every flight so unique that I can recall all the memories of the times we shared our mutual love of flying, from F-4 cross countries flying in each other's "pit" to our reunion in an Alaska Airlines cockpit. My thoughts and prayers are for Randy's new flight experiences and to share our sorrow, pain and loss to Sheryl, their children and family. May God's comfort and peace be with all of us who loved this man.

I will always cherish the great days at Ramstein with Randy. God often chooses the best to join Him in heaven; we cannot understand this at these times of sorrow. But we are comforted that he has truly, in the end, reached out and touched the face of God.
