Randy and I grew up in the same neighborhood. We were good friends all the way through school. I always thought of Randy as a gentle giant as he was always somewhat bigger than me.  Randy was a calming influence on me as I tended to be far more adventerous in life. He was best man for my first marriage. We lost contact after that, different roads traveled. I valued his friendship imensley. I am sorry we can't reconnect at this time. Somehow I missed his passing and I deeply regret that.

I remember Randy well at Garfield.  He was always kind to everyone.  He was on the quiet side.  I could have/should have taken a lesson on that attribute.  I was sad to see he got leukemia at such a young age.
