I am so saddened and sorry for your loss. Randy was one of the good guys and he will be missed.I have so many great memories of throwing darts with Randy and Joanne. Michael and I will be there Friday to remember and honor Randy. You are all in my heart and prayers.
Uncle Randy was a great and wonderful man. Although I never got to spend much time with him over the years, every time I could visit he always did something special with me. Whether it was saving me from the squirrel at the zoo that I was running after, or letting me keep the change from dinner when “the lady gave it to me” or when he would let me play his guitar and keyboard, or if it was just telling me jokes and making me smile. He will always have a special place in my heart and will be so missed by us all. I love you Uncle Randy and I will miss you so much!
Michael and I are so sorry for your loss. Randy will be missed by all. You are in our hearts and prayers.

Randy will be forever missed and remembered, especially while I watch Family Guy and Brian Reagen. A game of Lawn Jarts will also never be the same. Miss ya Randy, Glad I was able to know you and call you a friend.
I’ll miss you, Randy. I miss the times we spent watching hocky together and playing street hocky in the driveway. You were always a good friend and we would always laugh together. Loved watching old movies together. I’ll miss talking on the phone and laughing for hours. I love you! You will always be in my heart and mind.
We will miss Randy greatly. He always put a smile on my face, especially when he did his sun dance when we visited so we could have sunny weather when we visited. Randy was a special person and so easy to love. We were all blessed by his life.
love and hugs to you all
Bob and Shirley
Randy, you will be missed greatly . you made life fun and could allways put a happy spin on things. i will miss you and your musical knowledge and all the times we played darts. im going to miss you buddy .
You will be forever remembered.
Randy, you were a heck of a guy! You always kept us laughing back in the Shop at Romaine, and you always had a look on your face that made me think you were about to burst out laughing. If you were EVER angry, I don’t think I ever saw or remembered such a thing! Not only were you a good rebuilder, you were an entertaining coworker and you made work fun. Thanks also to you and Kenny for accompanying me on my first and only motorcycle run up to Snoqualmie winery back in 1992. It was a blast and you guys made sure I was safely sandwiched between your two big bikes!I know I hadn’t seen you for years, but I can’t believe you are gone. It’s not fair. You were loved and will be missed by everyone whose path you crossed. —Ildi
