Randy was a one of a kind guy he loved to cook and him and I immediately connected from that. His humor and onriness will be missed. Ginger my thoughts and prayers are with u and his family
A bunch of us were at Randy and Ginger’s house for a pot luck. My picky grand daughter didn’t see anything she liked. Randy asked her what she did like. She told him ‘pancakes’. He went into the kitchen and made her pancakes with chocolate chips, eggs and bacon. Then brought it all out to her on a tray. She felt like a princess. Thanks for everything Randy. You will be missed by many. Love you forever.
Anyone that was ever around Randy and I knew we had the most wonderful Love Hate Relationship. We loved to argue, we loved to fight , but he was there for me when I needed him, ALWAYS !!! He could fix anything and if he couldnt would give you what ever he had laying around. Gave my daughter a lawnmower because he couldn’t fix the one I bought her !!! Never asked for anything in return, just gave!! I miss him so much already. My thoughts are with the family. Love you always Penny Franck

I just learned of Randy’s passing today, May 7 after running into Ginger. I’m quite shocked and saddened. He was one of a kind and could I always count on great, fun conversation with he and his beautiful soulmate, Ginger. One time I brought him a little American flag, saluted him, and thanked him for his service. He seemed to love and appreciate the gesture. All my and condolences to Ginger and his family. Rest In Peace soldier.
