I´m so sad to hear this news, Randy was a
Person that you liked as soon as you met him. We went to church together for over 20 yrs. He loved children and especially teaching them martial arts. He taught me and several grown ups martial arts about 4 years ago and even though he was the oldest one, he moved like a young man. He will Be missed very much
