Randy lived for and loved his children and grandchildren more than anything. He had a great love and respect for his parents, especially his Dad, and valued the family life they created for him and his siblings, by valuing the family, above anything, that could ever be purchased.

If he could impart one thing, it would be, to treasure your family, friends, and relationships; while thanking God, the creator of all things, for the blessings in your lives.
