Randy enjoyed “the great outdoors” including the California Gold Country, fishing, prospecting, and gold panning. Randy was a “mechanic extraordinaire” who could build anything or fix anything.

I remember Randy as a super kind person. When I entered Addison Elementary, he was a stand out in the welcoming arena. I was so grateful. I was in the midst of family craziness and his kindness was so necessary. I will never forget his shy smile.

Randy and his family lived nearby on Addison Street near my home growing up. His mom was the den mother of our cub Scout Troop. In high school we would play poker at his family house in the basement. He just wanted to have fun, never a bad word.Pete Keesling
Good memories of our days in Troop 48. Randy was always happy, and full of stories. Glad to see that he made the best of life, even though it was too short...
