Oh man do I ever miss you. So many good memories of you as a kid, and as an adult. Your sense of humor was so unique and refreshing. Words are an attempt to convey an idea or emotion, but in the end it's just the experience of the emotion. To use your words "well buddy, that's just the way it is". I'll see you on the other side. Always, your brother and friend!

Professor Glover was such a great Econmics teacher! He made a very boring subject enjoyable and interesting with his games and stories. He is so missed! I am deeply saddened with the tragic news. Rest in Peace Prof. Glover!!!

What a wonderful brother to have had. I have grieved now for 8 weeks and anyone that knew Randy well would completely understand. They say that time heals, but this is going to take a long, long time. I loved you then and I will remember you until my last day. You will always be loved and never ever forgotten. That wry smile, that wonderful sense of humor and the joy you brought your family was worth it all, even with the grief we experience now. Wishing you rest and peace now Dandy, I'll meet you on the other side!

Randy and I worked at Deloitte together many years ago in Atlanta. My fondest memory is our trip to Cancun and Randy wearing his Detroit Tigers cap so that he looked like Tom Selleck.
Melody & Glover family - my heartfelt condolences.

Randy and I were best friends at Patrick Elementary and DeLaura Jr High. We lost touch in high school, but I often wondered what became of him. I remember him as a smart, funny and talented person...and a great friend. Too bad we never met up later.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Randy.
I knew Randy from Satellite High School - graduation date 1976. We knew each other through various common friends and everyone liked Randy. Just a good guy that was everyone's friend.
As a former classmate, in my younger year's, he will be deeply missed.

Randy was a fraternity brother of mine at Lambda Chi Alpha at UF as well. I remember great times at UF with both Randy and Dart. Randy was very funny and could make the best wolf howls you have ever heard. I did not realize that Randy lived and worked in Melbourne. Randy will be missed.

Randy was one of my pledge sons in Lambda Chi alpha Fraternity at UF. He BY FAR was the smartest one, could study the night before and ace the test. Too early my old friend - JohnBoy, Mikey and I will miss you! PanMan Dart Fifer

I never had the pleasure to meet Randell in person, but on-line he was one of the nicest person I've ever meet on the internet, he was always warm friendly, polite and above all else funny.

Randy when we were young we were on fire. Always on the edge and always having fun. In life we grew and went our ways but we were always friends. Reading your friends commets now, it is as if you were never very far from the edge in life. I will miss you my friend.

Randy was a great person with a wonderful sense of humor, a friend from a poker study group. Years ago, when my pet passed away, Randy sent the kindest e-mail, telling me that when his pet cat passed, he took solace in knowing they would someday be reunited at Rainbow Bridge. While we miss him, a kitty was just made very happy.

Randy was a good friend who was very supportive and I will especially miss his sense of humor. We could joke and razz each other and neither of us would ever take offense.

I remember Randy way way back! He was such a nice guy and a true gentleman! He will be remembered in our Class of '76 Paddle Out at our mini reunion on July 9th, first thing in the a.m. All family members are welcomed to share the time in our rememberance of him and others who have gone to Heaven, way too early from our graduating class. My heart and prayers are with his family and friends! Jackie (Parsons) Menzel

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I met Randy playing Poker and we shared a mutual love (addiction really lol)for the game of Omaha H/L & Razz. We shared many tables over the past 10 years and I always had the best times and learned the most because of Randy. He knew the game well and never had a problem with me picking his brain and believe me I really picked his brain, hand after hand after hand. You are a bright light and your light will shine forever in my heart. I will see you on the final table my friend, until then R.I.P. -AA23ds-

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family: I knew him through playing poker with him. He was a keen player who knew the game well. In addition he had a sharp wit which I dearly will miss. As a fellow professor, I found him brilliant and a jouy to be around.I will miss him.

Thank you so much for all your help Mr. Glover. You tought me about a lot more than just economics and I really feel like I walked away from your class with more knowledge than I came in with. It took a great teacher to make me feel that way.
