I am so sorry to learn Mr. Randy passed away! He was truly such a genuinely kind, caring person, and being around him I found it impossible not to have a smile on my face no matter how down I had been feeling that day. He always also never failed to make me laugh. Heaven most certainly gained an angel, but Mr. Randy will be sorely missed here, and my sympathies go out to Mrs. Latrese and their sons, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and other family and friends. Rest peacefully, Mr. Randy!
