Tim and I were so saddened to hear of Randy´s passing . He was a good friend who hung with Tim & Carl Rheinheimer growing up and through High School. He was a wonderful human being and left this world a better place. So Sorry we did not make it to the visitation. God bless and sustain you!

My sympathy to Sharon and his family. We were childhood neighborhood friends, went to school together and the last time I saw him was at the United Labor Agency when he was doing our pest control. He was a friendly warm personable guy who enjoyed life and his family.
