To Martha & Roy- You had the most wonderful son I think a mother & father could have. From the time I met Randy he made me laugh. I remember the day at the fair. He had on a pair of mis matched socks. I just had to ask why and that is what iniated our friendship. I will cherish all the great memories of him . He was an awesome friend and touched my heart deeply. He will be missed greatly.
