Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kelso;

I was very sad to hear of Randy's passing. I did not know him well, but I will never forget our neighbors of 44th street. If sharing can somehow help - I would love to hear some of your family stories over coffee sometime. I have always enjoyed seeing you two at the A&W. I wish you and your family God's peace always.

Sincerely,

Kent Gregory

Randy was a great neighbor. Always ready to drop everything and give a hand. Always gave great advice and tips on gardening and assisted my wife Ernestine when I wasn't around.

I remember him as a generous and happy man.

My condolences to the family, my thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. Randy and I attended school together in Drayton Valley and although were not close, I remember him as a handsome, cheerful and friendly young man and regret that I did not know him better.

Special prayers to his siblings, I know only too well how difficult it is to lose a brother and I hope you find comfort in your love for your brother and friend and I keep your pain close to my own heart.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss and may your family stay strong at this most difficult time.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Randy's passing. It was just the other day I was discussing our future high school reunion with my husband, and I said to him that I would love to catch up with Randy. I will always treasure the friendship we had in high school. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Bill and Anne,
What a shock it was to hear of Randy's death. After hearing, Dorothy and I sat and talked about the days when I was Randy's volleyball coach back at H.W. Pickup. What I remember most are Randy's leadership skills on the volleyball court and his perseverance (and how high he threw the darn ball when he served which drove me nuts). I still have the newspaper photo/writeup of us when we won the 1987 County of Parkland Championship. Randy will always have a special place in my heart.
