We were so sorry to hear about Randell's death. Our sympathy goes out to all of you. He was very well liked . I don't think he even knew how many friends he did have. He was a great dad to Jay, and he will be sorely missed

Dear Family & Friends of Randall, Time is so very precious to all of us. We count it a great pleasure to have been able to spend time with Randall. He was more than a customer, he was a true friend! Through all the tough times that he faced, Randell was looking for the positive side. Through his heart surgery, we realized how limited our assurance of tomorrow can be. Randell is already missed and we will never forget the good & bad times we have shared through his farming years. Wilma & Michelle with Consolidated Grain & Barge

Dear Wilma, Hank, Bryan and other family members; I am not well enough to visit you at the funeral home but my heart goes out to all family members. I loved Jethro and Wilma with all my heart and you boys also. Loretta is still coming to my private office so I can visit with friends. Not many left of my age. I just know one thing for sure that came out of my life, I truly loved my patients and was sorry when my health would not allow me to do what I believe was my calling in life. Love, Dr. Smiyh

My thoughts are with Randall's family at this time. Randall "adopted" Roy's labrador after Roy 's unexpected death in 1994 and that was a comfort to me, his wife, at that difficult time and for that and other reasons Randall will always hold a special place in my heart.

My heart and prayers go out to all of you at this time of sorrow and need. I have known Randell and Jay for 13 years. Whenever I saw him he would always smile and say hi. Dear Jay, your dad is with God now and will always be your gardian angel. He will protect you and keep you safe. Please know that he would want you to miss him but at the same time he would want you to keep living your life. He was so proud of you for winning that shotgun and said how lucky you are. He was right jay, you are lucky, because you had Randell as a dad. Stay strong and God will help you thru this time. May God Bless Each and Eveyone of you!

My prayers are with the family during this difficult time of sorrow. Jay, I'm Ms. Katie, I've had you in class at Junior High. This will probably be the most difficult time you go through in your life. I know you're wondering why you. There is nothing I can say to comfort you during such a tragic time in your life, however believe in God, and he will carry you through this. Your dad has earned his wings and will be looking down at you. I know he doesn't want you to be sad. I'm here for you. My condolences to you. I will be praying for you. Ms. Katie
