Hey Randy, I thought about you from time to time over the decades, wondering how you were. Well, now I know, having found your obit. Have a good sleep. I still remember your Morris Minor.

To all of Randy's family . . .

I am so sorry for your great loss of a wonderful human being.

I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Randy's sudden passing . . . and very surprised how deeply he had touched our hearts having known him only as the gopher guy'.

During these many years, Randy displayed wonderful qualities. He was a gentle soul, kind, giving, considerate, and playful and a perfectionist at his trade. He always wanted to show me his catch' or was it to see my distorted grimace meaning NO!

About a year and a half ago when the Master Gopher man came here to do his magic', he told me that he was getting too busy and needed a helper. My grandson, Scott, became his willing apprentice, and Randy took him under his wing and taught him all the tricks of the trade, and then some. They developed a really nice relationship. I regret that my Grandson has lost this special relationship with such a good, decent man. I imagine Randy would have been one of his mentors. The photo is my Grandson's 1st catch here at our home. It was a meticulous job just like Randy's . . . and a quick catch. My Grandson will continue Gophers R Us in Randy's honor.

I admired Randy. He was one of those people who seemed comfortable in his own skin, happy with life . . . and eager to experience more. During one of his visits, he told me about taking up piano. I will always remember Randy's gentle spirit and yet . . . what an adventurer.

Randy always spoke so endearingly about his family and his dear Mom - and secretary!

We will surely miss Randy. I am reminded of something I read years ago: We can never know the full effect that one person has had upon the world. We only know how deeply our own hearts have been touched.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you all. Cathy Weitzner

So sorry to hear of Randy's passing. Randy was a fellow student with me at Miramonte High School.
My sincere condolence to Randy's children and Family.

My Deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. James 4 : 8

Randy helped us out for 10 years or more with Gophers on our property outside of Danville. We got to know him well and enjoyed him as a thoughtful and kind person. We will certainly miss him.

Condolences to all of his family and friends, we lost a wonderful friend and man.
