    I am so sorry to hear this Randy was always smiling and kidding when he'd see ya. When he lived in TN I use to run into him and he always had something funny to tell ya. I miss his mom and dad and will miss him as well. My heart goes out to his family for their loss. Thoughts and prayers for everyone.

    My wife, Jody and I work with Randy in the flight department at Four Winns. We enjoyed his sense of humor. He was a fun guy.
