Dear Randy,
My husband, and his family, lived next door to you and your family, for many years. Later, when Tom and I married, our boys loved to "help" you fix their respective cars. May you rest in peace, we will miss you....

Pam, I am deeply saddened to hear Randy has passed away. Please take comfort in remembering all the good times you had together. My fondest memory; I always knew when he dropped you off from a date and/or just left your Mom & Dad's place. Without fail, he always honked his horn as he drove away on Smith Rd.
You and your family are in my thought and prayers.
