My sincere condolences to Randy’s family.. I’m Frank Randy’s little brother we were1 16 months apart in age so we were very close when growing up. Randy was always game for adventure and I usually followed along.. I remember sneaking out of the house and getting caught by my dad. Or when we were camping Roosevelt lake and I was sleeping he laid a dead rattle snake by my sleeping bag and the he whispered frank frank don’t move theirs a snake, well I flew out of the sleeping bag and chased him about a mile. Thats just one example of Randy being a prankster. We shared a bed room while growing up and were very close. I’m having a hard time believing he’s gone. Randy and Roe had a hard time as Randy fell at work early in his working career and basically was handicap most of his adult life. He did love the outdoors and pushed himself as long as he could so he could hunt and fish..
Love you Randy, you little brother frank.
I’m Edward, Randy’s older brother we will miss him he was so full of love for others. His love of the outdoors set him apart from most. He loved photography and his job in the VA was filming surgical procedures. His love of photography goes back to when he was a young boy.. His love for his wife Roe and his three son’s was special.
Randy we love you and when we all get to Heaven we will spend those special moments.
Love
Edward and Carol
Roe, I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. My late husband Harry St John served with Randy’s during the Vietnam Era in the navy. They were best buds and kept in contact after that time. My sincerest sympathy for Randy’s passing to Roe and family.
Randy was a loving cousin to my father Wayne. The times we were able to connect, I remember him as loving, cheerful guy. My heart goes out to his family during this time of loss… my dad was probably there to greet him at the heavenly gates… may he rest in peace… love and comfort to all those who loved him… Heather
I’m deeply saddened to hear of Uncle’s Randy passing. I loved his sense of humor, and he will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Aunt Roe, and his three sons (Chris, Charles and Michael)
My sincere condolences to Roe and the entire family. Please let us know if you need anything at all.
Your Neighbors,
Tracy, AJ, Vinny
Dear Roe, Chris, Charles, Michael and your families. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Ed and I always enjoyed the times when Roe and Randy came to Arizona, and they visited with us. I especially enjoyed the time Ed and I and Randy and Roe went on a day trip to Sedona. Randy helped me look for stones/ rocks, which he knew a lot about, and we went to a rock shop. We also shopped for Indian made jewelry, and Randy especially seemed to like the roadside stands, where the Native Americans sold their jewelry and other items. I am so glad to have that special memory of our fun time with Randy.
