I was catching up with an old friend and DECie after a very long time. We talked about old times and Randy was a part of that conversation. We haven´t forgotten you, Randy.

Randy was a mentor to me at DEC, Compaq and HP. We had done several tech roadshows together. I will miss him.

Randy would always lean in to help in many ways and I am sure he will continue to do that wherever he goes.

So long, my friend
