s face. A heart attack, major car accident that broke his back in two places and rattled his brain. He's the longest living prostate cancer survivor at the Omaha VA, living over twelve years when he was given a prognosis of only five. It led to a stroke that paralyzed his right side. He always said that cancer wouldn't take his life, and it didn't. Dad chose to have a major surgery to repair an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm knowing things could go wrong but chose to because he didn't want to be the one to hurt someone should it burst while driving. His body was just so tired of all the fighting that he had done his whole life that his heart finally gave out along with other complications from the surgery. He passed away with his family at his side. Dad did not wish to have a funeral service when he died, he wanted a remembrance of life. He didn't want anyone to remember the struggles or disagreements that they might have faced with him. He wanted them to remember the good and happy times. With this said, we are working on a time and place to have family and friends meet for a "Hello Forever" gettogether to remember Randy! Please be patient while we get this set up from different parts of the United States! Thank you!
