I was saddened to hear about Randy. He was such a great guy. Many great times with Randy from 4th grade thru H.S. and occasionally after. From mini-bikes to our first drinks on an annual halloween sleepout in his dad's camper in his backyard. We took the old I.C downtown and then the "L" to wrigley field when we were like in 7th grade. 1st time i felt grown up. Randy, John Bajert and I....Those were the days, i wish they'd never ended. As happens, we didn't stay in touch over the years, but the times spent together, are special still, after all the years. i don't know what to say other than Randy was such a great guy, and a great friend. with tears in my eyes.

Rena, Nick, and Family,
Knowing that Randy is surely in a better place, my thoughts and prayers remain with you and yours. Randy was a wonderful guy--as I've so often heard from my brother, John--and he will certainly be missed. God bless you.
