Reflecting on the time spent with Randy while we worked together at Kmart,....it would always be a adventure at meetings or visiting with him at his store, if I said red, he'd say blue,.. if I say up he'd say down,... that was Randy,.. but his come-back was usually the better choice,... that's our Randy! We all appreciate you buddy and truly miss you,.........
