Julie and Family,
Please accept Michael’s and my sympathy for Randy’s passing. You and he were so wonderful in helping us find our new home. His work at St. Matthew was tireless. We were blessed to know Randy and your family. God Bless.
Just heartbreaking, Julie. He impressed me as a fine gentleman on the one and only time I met him— when that photo you have in his obit was taken.
My heart is with you out here in Colorado. Maybe see you this fall to bring a comforting hug your way.
Dear Julie,
I’m very sorry to hear about Randy’s passing. Although I did not know him well, his reputation was well know as a loyal patriot, loving husband, and caring father. May god bless his soul, you, and your family.
Your cousin, Bill
Julie, Nicole, and Shane: I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Randy’s passing. I have fond memories of playing with my cousin, Randy, when we were growing up as neighbors on Long Pond Road. He really made something of his life, serving his country in the navy and then serving the Lord in his church. I know he was very close to his family and I offer my condolences to you as you mourn your loss. I am praying for all of you.
Dear Julie, Nicole and Shane,
On behalf of the Drexler family, please accept our deepest condolences. Randy grew up next to us on Long Pond Rd. He was dear friends with our brother Patrick and together they raised a lot of “ noise” in & out of school!
He was a friend to all of us- lots of great times together!! We were sincerely appreciative that he took the time to pay his respects to Patrick a few years ago; but as you know, that’s the kinda great guy Randy was!
This news truly saddens our family; may his soul Rest In Peace. And let’s hope the two old buddies don’t get into too much mischief upstairs!
Warmly,
Martha
Dear Julie,

May his perpetual light shine forever in your heart.

What a great loss. You two were the first one’s we met when moving to the lake and has been a privilege to be your friends. Randy was always fun to talk with about our cars!
