Randy loved his Lord above all else, then his wife, family and friends. He had been a Deacon at church. He was an avid fisherman and hunter.  He would go with Peggy to the hospital and pray for the sick. He was open to taking folks to doctor visits when they called. He had numerous jobs. He loved what he would do and gave it all he had. He was always 10 feet tall and bulletproof. He did it all for the glory of God and good for his family and friends. He will be missed.
