A wonderful cousin gone too soon. We are praying for y’all.
A wonderful soul, kind heart, true friend.
My condolences to the smith family. Will always remember the fun times spent with Randy way back in the 80’s. Rest in Peace my friend!
Randy was such a hoot! Loved him like a brother growing up. My condolences to the family. Great guy all around!!
Randy was a good man who loved my sister, Lisa, so much. He suffered physically for many years. My husband, Ed, and I took a couple of trips with Randy and Lisa, once to Mount Rushmore and another to Ely, Minnesota so the guys could fish. Had wonderful times. He will be missed.
I will miss Randy. He was one of my neighbors who lived right down the street from me for many years.
He loved life, loved Jesus, loved to laugh and to fish, loved animals, loved his Lisa.
He will be missed
I’m sure Randy knew how much we loved him. He always brought sunshine when he would “pop” in to our office at Ft. Roots. His love for Lisa was a saving grace. RIP Randy… Jan and Mickey
Lisa & family – you are in our prayers; may all your precious memories become sweeter by the day.
I lost Jimmy early this year, but I still feel his presence day by day – he was special. God’s grace and care is strong within our hearts. Shirley Morgan
Randy could bring out the best in you when having a conversation about anything. He touched a lot of people’s lives. I enjoyed getting to know him over the years after he married the love of his life, Lisa. How devoted she was to him.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
