Randy had a big loving heart and loved his family and many friends very much. He was one person that always made me smile. I remember he came all the way to see me when I lived in NWA and was fighting the cancer battle. It encouraged me very much. R.I.P.dear Randy , I will always remember how fun it was as to dance with you.
It simply won't seem like coming home to visit Clarksville without seeing Randy. He was a treasured friend for more than 50 years. His memory will outlast his lifetime with all of those who had the honor to call him a friend.
Randy was like a member of my Family. I can remember him camping with us out at Fort Douglas on the Creek many times, or up at my Brothers' Pat and Tim's Cabin, hanging out with my Brother Jim Hilton., going Trout Fishing up on the White River. Softball trips, taking me to Weiderkerh's for my first legal mixed drink in 1982, which was served by the best Cocktail Waitress and Bartender, Jane Burgess!
I hold many wonderful experieces and memories in my heart forever Randy, because of you Buddy. You touched us all, and anyone who ever had the priviledge to meet you, I know must say the same thing.
Eternal Rest on Randy Oh Lord, and Let Perpetual LIght Shine Upon Him,and may He Rest in Peace.. AMEN!

Randy and I were dear friends all through grade school, middle school, high school and college. Our friendship lasted over fifty years. My mother, Anita West, always said Randy was her favorite student due to his keen wit, twinkle in his eye, and intelligence. Randy was a friend to everyone! He always had something nice to say and would make you laugh. Randy and Paul Felkins were close friends when they were little. They had so much fun in our sweet little hometown. They never went anywhere without each other. With a deep sadness and tears in our eyes, Daddy and I want to tell you, Randy, what a fine man you were. I can hear your laughter now. We loved you, dear friend. You are in heaven with Denny and Bobby. I hope you are playing a game of touch football and laughing like you did when you were children. Bliss and Jack xooxoxoxoxox
Randy was one of the first guys I met at college. He was the life of any party and he was seriously funny. He had the ability to make anyone laghf but still had a serious and compassionate side. He will be missed. RIP Big guy!
