My condolences go out to Randy's parents and family. Randy was a childhood friend of mine.I met Randy when I moved here from N.Y.C. in 1975 I was 11yrs. old and had to prove myself to the new clan; which consisted of Randy,Jeff V.[dECEASED],Ron N.,Mark O.,Barry B.,Pat H.,Scott S.,Jerry A. and more if I thought about it. Randy became a good frind of mine when we were on the Exeter wresteling team in 1978.. We were Berks county champions that year and one match he was in I'll never forget he got his arm broken. He was one great wresteler and brought our team to the winners circle that year....Most of the names I mentioned eariler also brought us to the winners circle. Man we had one heck of a team that year and it seams just like yesterday. We will rock you and we are the champions was our team song by Queen. Theres so many memories to mention but Id'e be writing all night.. Randy may you find peace and rest... Always a part of my memories and my friend.. A.J.P.
