From Dean O. Woodland:
I was one of Randy's scouts. Late September of '78 he loaded his Datsun completely full of backpacks and skinny scouts for a hike-in overnighter to Independence Lakes. At dusk wolves, i.e. coyotes, were howling on the ridges above and a wet heavy snow began to fall and continued all night. Of course we thought we were going to die of exposure to an unexpected winter and wolf attack. Randy repaired the collapsed tents and removed the heavy snow all night. He kept us dry, made many snow boots from a tarp and fended off any imagined attack of the fanged foes. At midday he path finded our way down to the Datsun which miraculously got us off the snowy mountain.
Thanks Randy a good neighbor, scout saviour and friend.
From Alec Dixon:
I will always remember how enjoyable it was (most of the time) to run parts for you. Me and Skyler have many memories with you.
We will miss and love you, Grandpa Randy.
From Marlene Wilkins Box:
Randy and Connie were so giving and caring for my mother after my father’s passing. Always stopping in to check on mother. Randy carrying on that service after Connie passed away. Such a kind gentle man
From Susan Neibaur :
Randy was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was such a “gentle man”! We will all miss him out on the north side. Loved your mother Connie also. I had seen the flowers that your dad left on her headstone the day of his accident. It was very tender and sweet. So sorry I was out of town and missed the service, however, I watched it and it was beautiful. Love, Susie.
From Alan Johnson:
So very sad to learn of Randy’s tragic passing. Randy was a sugar beet seed customer of mine for many years. As a result, we became friends and enjoyed many visits. Randy was a hard worker, always polite and concerned for his family, whom he loved. I will miss you Randy!
From Denise C Moore:
I will see you on the otherside. Randy was honest, loving and patient. A wonderful husband to my sister, Connie.
