My brother, Randall, was a good, honorable, Godly person. He was a loving family man devoted to his wife, children and grandchildren.
Although raised in poverty, through his discipline and determination, he overcame adversity and became a very successful businessman. He enjoyed seating out with family and friends, and delighted in having the last word in any debate.
He loved life, but as the reality of his declining health and advanced years made themselves known, he told me he was ready when his time came, although if God granted him more years, he would gladly stay. Randall is at peace. I pray he remembers to save his little sister a seat.

Randall, we are saddened by your passing. You were a good person... a Godly man. Having come from such poor beginnings, you accomplished so much. The words "defeat" or "failure" were not in your vocabulary. You will be missed. RIP brother, until we meet again....and save me a seat!
