Randy Kowalski was a main figure to a countless number of kids hoping to achieve their athletic dream. For over 15 years that I knew him, he helped mold adolescents into wonderful young men and women.......and they should always be indebted to him, for all they learned, for all he gave and for the opportunities they were afforded, because of his generosity. My thoughts and prayers are with Toni and her children as they embark upon their memories to sustain their grief......may God and all His blessings give them strength and lasting peace.

It's difficult to express what a tragedy the passing of this great man is. Uncle Randy, you will be deeply missed by many. There was always such a brightness about you that projected onto those around you.
I can remember when I was small, you were very scary because of your height. As an adult, whenever I would see you, I felt better about myself. You always had kind words to say and were sincere with those words.
My heart aches for the brightness this world has lost.

I will always remember that green Camaro, white football helmet( because Mr. Percy couldn't find a orange one big enough). We could always find you when reviewing games. Look for the White helmet. During those days of black and white films, it really stuck out. All our trips up and down main in Maud. I don't recall ever seeing you with out a smile on your face. You working for as you would say Mr. B. Shelley and I was proud of the life you had built and your generosity to your school and friends. You never forgot your roots. You had a beautiful family and will be missed by all. Your classmate of Maud High School 1974 and friend forever. Gary Presley

Mr. Kowalski was one of the most kind and encouraging men I have ever met. After every show Marisa and I did in high school he would always make a point to pull me aside and tell me how proud he was of me for pursuing such a crazy career. He always told me to give it my best shot, and I am moving to New York this coming fall. Thinking of him and his beautiful family <3
