To the family,
I was fortunate enough to have met Randy while I was studying and working in the US a few years ago. When I moved back to my country, I told my family how blessed I was to have met such a genuine and good person such as Randy. His Kindness, generosity and 'golden' heart marked my life and made Randy an ideal example of a great man! I only found out about him leaving us today when I tried to reconnect with him and thank him once again for being the person that he is...and I feel like the entire world just got so ugly and empty without him.
My heart goes out to his family and friends...God bless his soul...
Hi Randy,
I pray that one day God will bless me with being in your presence again!

Randy and his family lived across from us on Wyndham Rd. before they moved to Breezewood. I remember Randy as extremely bright and good-hearted, with a ready smile. I'm shocked and saddened to learn (years later) of his death.

I have trouble finding the words to describe how much I miss our conversations or your help and knowledge or simply your advice. I still remember our last conversation that Saturday night. 2009 was going to be our year, "Your Year", and the next day you were gone. Hard to believe it has been a year since you passed. I miss you. We all miss you. We always will.
December 9, 2009
Randy, My birthday is tomorrow and all I can think of today is.. I'm not going to get a call from you tomorrow. I miss you Buddy!

To Randy's family and our dearest Red,
Attempting to sign this guest book has been an ongoing ritual for several weeks. Finding the words to express our sorrow has been so hard. We will miss Randy's smile and ornery little laugh we heard so very often at Ken Stewart's. We know that God has our lives planned even before we are born, so we praise Him for the time he allowed us to share with such a wonderful young man. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Geller family and Arnie,
I learned just today of Randy's passing. I cannot express my shock and sadness. I was always amazed at Randy's compassion and understanding of others.
In this life there are a very few truly remarkable people. Randy was one of them. When I met him he became a friend to me immediately.
I understand what an empy place there is at such a loss.
I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
Hold his spirit very close to you. It will never leave you.

Geller Family,
I got to know Randy through a very good mutual friend of ours, Fred King. I always had a great time whenever we all got together, and while I haven't seen him in several years, I was just crushed at the news of his passing. Randy was such a fun guy to be around, and I have great memories of the times we all had at Ohio State-Michigan football games, various weddings, and parties. I never failed to have a good laugh or two whenever I saw Randy.
My thoughts and prayers have been with your family and will be into the future. May God bring you comfort in these difficult times.
