Our 💔 is shattered on the loss of such a wonderful man. Randy was welcomed in the family the day we met him. He is just what we all needed for his kindness , friendship, his humor and his love of his family. He was not only a wonderful father but loving husband, step father, grandpa, friend and neighbor. He was a true person that would always enjoy life, family, friends and life. I thank him for showing his wife what true honesty and love is to be. Until we meet again Randy please watch over all those that you held dear. May you rest in peace until we meet again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️
