Our Heartfelts to you, Nancy, and your family. I am a Scribner native and know the Cerny family was so active in so many levels of the community. Randy remained an energetic, friendly part of that extended community. I so admire his being a "trusted babysitter for his four grandsons." Heartwarming. Again, our Heartfelts.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. I was saddened to learn of Randy's passing. He and I were fraternity brothers at UNL. We had a lot of memorable times together during our collegiate days. It was great to see Randy again and meet you at our fraternity reunion a few years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

What I admire most about Randy is his happy orientation towards life. I never heard Randy talk behind anyone's back or speak ill of another person. And of course, Randy was a great golfing buddy. May your memories of Randy always bring you strength and joy, as he wings his flight in the heavens above.

Dear Nancy, Chris, Matt and Lauren,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Randy. What a great guy. Randy did so much for St. Ann's Parish over the years and always cared about others. I'll never forget taking Randy, Mr.Tom Barry and John Pecher to South Bend in 2000 for the Nebraska vs. Notre Dame game. The great Nebraska fans came in force and had taken over Knute Rockne Stadium. The Cornhuskers won the game in overtime 27-24. Randy had a smile from ear to ear. Heaven just got another angel. God Bless you and your family.

What a terrific guy. Randy always kept an upbeat view of the world and lifted the people around him. And there always seemed to be people around him. He will be greatly missed. RIP.

Nancy-There are no words to express my condolences. I think back to when our children were young, St. Ann and many adventures. I know Oliver is with the Lord, and Randy is now too in eternal heaven. He will always live through his family and all that loved him.
