"It has been such a blessing being close friends and business partners with Randy. He had the gift of encouragement, and we spent countless hours enjoying lunches, working on our apartments, waterskiing, and so many other fun times. I am so disappointed that his time was cut short, but I know as good as life has been, and as much as Randy was full of excitement and enthusiasm, he has moved on to the place all of us believers in Christ long to be, with our Lord and Savior! I am so thankful I knew and spent time with Randy. He is an inspiration to be a blessing to everyone around me. Well Done Randy! Thank you for sharing your life and enthusiasm with me."
