I didn't know much of Randy as an adult, even though we were cousins. I used to babysit him and his brothers and sister when they were little. The last time I saw him was at my Dad's funeral in 2004. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and daughter and to the rest of my cousins. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I only knew of Randy as a musician, having shared a bill with Spatterdash, many years ago. May his family and friends be in our thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know Randy, but I new some great friends of his, Leo and Bob Kelly. My thoughts and prayers are with the Archer family. I have been through a similar situation and to know that people are there in support of the Archer family is the best thing any of us can do.

Randy was a great person. I am lucky to have been one of his friends. I am heartbroken by his passing.
