Tributes
"I'm so sorry for your loss. Randy was my uncle. We didn't see him very often since we lived in Des Moines (Roger is my father); but I remember he was always incredibly kind and fun to be around. I'm sorry I'm just finding this out, I've been trying to update my family tree on Ancestory.com. The last time I saw him was in 2009 at Lois' funeral and he shared some really great stories about me and my dad that I don't remember since he passed away when I was 12. Honestly, he's probably the uncle I remember the most and I'm so sad we missed his service."
"My condolences to the family. I had many great times with Barron and the gang back in the mid-70's. Randy was like a brother. God bless him."
