Dear Kathy and family,

My husband saw Randy's notice in the newspaper yesterday. He shared some good memories hanging out 'back in the day' with you, Randy and Barry (Smeltz).
We are sorry for your loss. Hoping the memories you keep close to your heart will help sustain you today and in the many days and nights to come.

Sincerely,
Butch and Lisa DeLancey

The world lost a fine man. Randy was my Dispatcher at Bendix for a few years, professional, funny, articulate, and a friend. Many Saturdays on the golf course with him hacking our way to learn the game. He will be missed...
