I had the honor of being friends with Randy for a few years when we were young shortly after high school. Gary, Randy and I had some good times back in the Early 80s. I was amazed how happy, friendly and welcoming he Always was. He was funny and always had that certain laugh, you know. He was very generous and gave me a horseshoe turquoise ring which I still have after 40 years. A true friend of mine and many others. Rest in peace my brother. We will meet again soon.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you onto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, AND THE WAY, YE KNOW. God bless you, Debbie(Nano), Pat(Manny) Mrs. Melcher and all the family.
