"Knew Randy from our grade school years in Industry - many nice memories - one of which doing homework at his house on the kitchen table - he was always helping me with math and on another occasion was staying overnight when Randy's brother Allan and scared us late at night - Randy laugh and I was shaking in thinking a real monster had invaded the house! My father Leland Goodwin worked for Randy's father Jim for a period of time as a farm hand - dad would tell the story that before Randy would climb into the cab of the combine, he would vacuum it and all would be clean for his day's work! Be in Peace Randy! Denny Goodwin - Bloomington, IL "
