I worked with Randy for over 25 years and a truer friend I couldn't ask for. He was honest and loyal and always there if you needed help. I wish I could've helped him through his illness. My deepest sympathy to Sandy and the entire family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Randy's passing. I graduated with Randy in 1973 from Brandywine Heights. Randy and I actually walked together at graduation. Randy was a such a jokester and a good friend in high school. My husband and I just ran into Randy a few months ago, and we kidded about how good it was to see each other. My sincerest sympathies go out to Randy's family, and I pray for all of you to find peace in dealing with this terrible loss!
