We were so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. We will always remember the square dances we so enjoyed with the both of you and the ones he called. We were at the Knothead Jamboree when we heard of the news and were unable to make the viewing and funeral. I sent a card through the mail but it came back to me stating no mail receptacle. We hope you and your family will find comfort in the wonderful memories you have. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
