I remember Randy from McKinley elementary school in Burbank. In particular I remember one day, it must have been in 3rd or 4th grade when Randy and I and two other friends, (I think it was Kirk & Elwood) rode our bikes to a little hamburger stand for lunch. I remember it felt like such a grown up thing to do to leave school at lunch time to get a hamburger. I had never done anything like that before. But when we got there I realized I had no money. Randy borrowed me some money to pay for the burger and told me to pay him back when I could. Now that may seem like a little thing to remember, but it was one of the few acts of kindness I do remember from those days. After all these years that have passed when I think back on my childhood, that day still brings a smile to my face. I lost touch with Randy after elementary school and I wish it could have been different. I am so sad to hear of his passing. RIP my friend. Gary Milazzo.

Randy was an old friend from Burbank We were in the same crowd and I knew him well. I remember when he was going to school to be a mechanic and he always had to go home early at night when the rest of us were out partying. We drifted a little bit apart, but also stayed in touch. Randy was a good and honorable man. My condolences to Leif And his family. My condolences also to his sisters Kim and Robin
