We just learned of Randolph's passing and want to let Barbara and his family know we are thinking of them. I played golf with Randolph and my dad Walter Gould many times and found him to be a delightful gentleman. He will be missed.

B.J. , I was so saddened to hear of Randolph's passing. Us children of Shadow's ALL thought the world of Randolph as my daddy did too. Intended on making his service but due to back problems can't. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Randolph was one of a kind and he will be missed. Hugs....Cousin, Deborah Scott Craft
