I feel an immense amount of gratitude for having the "gift" of Randy in my life! <3 He will always be remembered by me for his strength, love, compassion (and gardening - smile). Best friend/husband/Daddy a girl could ever have. Rest in peace sweet angel...

I will always remember Randy as being incredibly kind. He treasured his friendships and enjoyed doing things for others. He cherished his family more than anything especially Christi, his devoted daughter. My thoughts and prayers go out to Christi and all of Randy’s family.

I am a high school friend of Randy (and his brother, Steve). It is with great sadness that I write this note in regards to an ole friend. Randy was a very likeable person with an infectious smile and good demeanor. I sang in Swing Choir with both Randy and Steve. The memories of him in the hallways of high school are fond - good thoughts. My thoughts and prayers are with Randy's surviving friends and family. May God comfort you during this trying time. Much love to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
