I didn't know Randy that well, but I am pretty sure my family knew a relative of his who ran a small grocery store in Independence in the early 60's. I think the owner's name was Ted Gist. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with Randy's family and I'm sure we'll see each other again one day.

Randy was a wonderful,loving,caring,and giving man. He was so wonderful at my father's funeral he gave a warm and heart felt eulogy that expressed how dad was. My heart goes out to the family during this most unfortunate time. I and my church will continue to pray for all the family involved. He is now riding a bike with Jesus.

I went to school with Randy and had the priveledge to run across him again a few times in recent monthes during the past couple of years.He was a GREAT guy and had a wonderful sense of humor.I'm glad that he was doing what he loved so much when he left this world.I'm sure he's loving the ride down the streets of gold on his heavenly motorcycle (yes,I'm sure there must be such a thing - although it wouldn't need fuel to run and wouldn't emit smoke or anything)... Enjoy the view,bro !!!

I know it has been YEARS but we never have forgotten our friendship we had while we were neighbors. The twins were so cute,to think they are all grown up.
I still remember Randy's laugh, and yours to Trish. I'm very sad for the loss of Randy so early.
May you find God's strength through the difficult days. My thoughts are with you and your family.
