I knew Randy from Hillcrest Hospital where he was one of the hardest workers, always had a smile, and would help with anything, his job or not. He will be missed.

I knew Randy from Hillcrest Hospital where he was one of the hardest workers and would help you anything you needed, his job or not. He always had a smile and something to joke about.

So sad for the loss of Randy, he was the kindest and helpful person, I remember when I was working at Hillcrest hospital in the winter time Randy would go and clean the snow off my car without me knowing, walked outside and find my car clean. Really appreciated that gesture. Miss you Randy Rest In Peace!
