Our deepest sympathy,
Leona (Mom), Steve and Susie, and Curtis
I know this is such a hard time for everyone. I look back over the years and remember all the good times at the farm, and the many times we would meet up for dinner. Randy was always kind to me and I know how much you two loved each other. I feel deeply your sense of loss. Your family loves you.

Melody and family: we were sad to see that Randy had died. We are sending energy to you at this tender time.
Mandy, I am so sorry for your loss. Randy and I met in 1976 at Minot A.F.B. ND. We were both in the Minuteman Missile Business. Randy was into dune buggy. He managed to get my heart rate up plenty of times. After he left the Air Force I thought he would go back to Michigan. Fast forward 45 years I find out he is 2 hours south of me in Fargo. I know one day I will get to finish many stories with him. Till that day comes, he will be forever in my thoughts
Sorry for your loss
Melody ,
