Randy never met a stranger, he had countless friends.

He will always be remembered for his amazing sense of humor, contagious laughter, selfless spirit and his endless optimism.

We had no idea his heart of gold was failing until he was hospitalized recently after helping save his coworker's life. We will miss him greatly, but we find comfort in knowing we will see him again one wonderful day!
