Although it’s been more years then I care to say since I have seen Randy, I had so many fun times running around the noelridge area with Randy. We always had fun just hanging out. Usually at Millie’s house. . I was taken in to this great family as a teenager and Randy was always a jokester, protected and coconspirator. .Also say that he introduced me to Jeff, and we’ve been married 34 years and counting. My thoughts and sympathy are with all of Randy’s family. Sincerely, Mary Harris
Thank you Mary for the kind words – John

I remember Randy and Brett from my high school days and going over to Millie’s house. I have lost a lot of my memories from that time in my life, but will never forget Randy. I do remember he was a great person.
