Randall was one of the best neighbors anyone could ever have. Jerry and I are both going to miss our chats with him. He was always outside with his sweet dog Bunny. Randall would always let Bunny run to us so she could get some extra petting and hugs. Our neighborhood will not be the same without Randall’s big smile and wave. Our sincere condolences to Dorthy, his son Randy and all his family and friends.
Randy, Denise, Tiffany and Dorothy… my thoughts and prayers are with you as you walk this path. He loved you all so much! Hold your precious memories of him close to heart. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ cover you with His mercy, peace and love. I love you all so much and I’m here if you need anything. Hugs to you… Barb
