Randy was a great guy. We spent time together when in school at Perry and we both went to EKU a year apart. Always smiling. I wish peace to all the family.

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Randy’s family. Death is the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I know my words can’t change anything and can do little to ease the pain you are feeling, so I pray that the God of comfort calm your hearts and help you heal. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) Lean on Him in the days to follow. One way that God comforts us today is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear.

Randy's two Marines were a great source of pride for him. He spoke of them often and missed being with them... always. He loved his friends and they loved him, probably more than he realized. While we worked together for years in Russia, he would make nearly- impossible situations enjoyable with his songs, quick wit, wonderful sense of humor and his amazing smile, all the while... solving every problem and completing any task. We all miss our "Uncle" Randy, Dan, Marina and Davy

Worked with Randy in Russia, Louisiana, and Texas. Spent countless hours associating with him after work and can't think of a time that wasn't filled with laughter. Everybody I know that ever worked with Randy loved him. He will be missed by many. I know I will. Rest in peace brother.
