Bob, you are so lucky to be in heaven. There is no time where you are so it will seem like just a flash and we will all join you there soon!! Im sure God made sure you mother May and your son Terry where there with you when you took your first heavenly breath in your new body!! While its hard for all of us left behind to process grief, it makes it a whole lot easier to process when we contemplate your new life and surroundings. Your character here on earth reflected Christ and you understood servanthood. Both the greatest earmarks for true believers. Rest Bob, enjoy, it wont be long and the trumpet will sound and we will meet you in the air along with our savior.

I remember Mr. Randolph fondly and I have known him since I was sixteen from Balboa High. I am grateful for his encouragement throughout the years and for placing me at Wells Fargo where I spent 39 years and retired two years ago.

We are sorry for your loss.
