He was very analytical but once he got to know you, he was the most loving and thoughtful person you had the privilege of knowing. He never forgot or missed a birthday and always gave the best advice. He was spiritually strong, extremely wise, and bossy at times –in the most loving way possible. He had the biggest laugh to match his even bigger heart. Randy was very passionate about music. He loved attending concerts and had a sound system in every room.
