Sly, Jess - I've known Randy and you for a long time, and he really was one of the nicest people I've known. He will be sorely missed by the many friends he had. He will, however, be golfing forever in the sunshine.

We are so sorry for your loss. Randy was an enjoyable guy, always had a smile and a wave when we would pass by and was so great to talk to. He always made us laugh,including the kids/boys! We are still in awe of the transformation he did to the 'overtaxed shelter'. He has created a beautiful memory, not only in our hearts and minds but one that we see, that shows what a great craftsman he was. We will miss this truly special friend & neighbor. May God bless you during this most difficult time, your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Mike & Leslie Bramel
