If you were lucky enough to know Randy, you are blessed beyond measure. This is exactly how I feel. People come and go out of our lives, but there are those certain souls that bring a kindness, a thoughtfulness, and a richness and that was Randy. Always there with warmth, a giving heart, a helping hand, a jovial spirit, and a twinkle in his eye. I often thought how everyone needs a Randy in their lives. And we were all lucky enough to have the original. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. It has often been said that a good telltale of the quality of someone ‘s essence and heart energy, is to see how animals act towards a person. This couldn’t be truer for Randy. Animals loved Randy and where so drawn to him, just like people and children where as well. All of his fur babies adored him. I remember fondly when my little dog had fallen head first on the pavement and Randy swoped in, grabbed him in his arms, and just his loving, caring essence for all creatures, healed my dog instantly. I will never forget it.
My parents were the first ones to know Randy and his beautiful wife, Bonnie. They met at Estate Sales and my parents just adored their company. So much so, they told me that I needed to meet them. They knew and could feel both of their amazing hearts, and they knew I too would appreciate them as wonderful people. That was many years ago and sure enough, they became my instant friends and family, in which we shared holidays and birthdays together. Their friendship has been the best gift of all to my family. I will be forever grateful to the kindness they’ve shown my parents over the years.
The world feels a bit smaller without Randy here. We shall all watch over his beloved Bonnie and cherish the love story they shared, for not even death can take away love.
Yep, to know Randy was to be lucky, and I feel blessed to have been lucky enough. Rest in peace with the Angels and Heavenly Father, sweet man. Until we meet again.

Randy was a cherished colleague who always greeted others with a smile and a positive spirit. He often spoke warmly about his plans for retirement, which makes his passing especially heartbreaking. I truly enjoyed working with Randy and deeply appreciated the energy and kindness he brought each day.
