Although we never met in person, we did converse here from time to time. Always a gentleman.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
We've lost another good one.
May he rest in peace.

Sad to hear, I remember reading his posts about getting the X painted and put back together. He was so excited. The same cancer took my Sister 6 years ago this month.

Prayers for his family at this especially tough time of year.

I sent him some "labrat" like pictures in the past, one of which he ended up using in his signature.



A bunch of us at Norwalk, Randy on the far right,



He will be missed. A very good person, gentleman.

He came up to PINKS at Martin a few years ago and hung out. My mom lives close to Martin on a lake, so I invited him to stay with me at my Moms cottage. We took the pontoon boat out, and floated around the lake drinking beer. He had dinner with us that day and stayed the night, and went back to the track the next day with us.

We hung out often at Norwalk, Milan, Woodward, etc. Great guy. I would bring the Charger up to Woodward, and see him at the Donut Cutters.

We would text often during the Red Wing's playoff games and talk on the phone.

I hope his wife if doing ok,

Thanks to Dartin (Randy) for keeping everyone updated on his status.

Sorry for the rambling, just random thoughts, and I will miss him.

Doug

He will be sorely missed. A true fighter. He was always upbeat. Damn you cancer, Randy was a treasure to know.

Randy has been a friend of our family since 1976 when he bought a car that would cement his love for Mopar's 440 engine. The car was my Dad's 1969 Charger 500. Randy loved the 500 because it was rare and fast. He used it as a daily driver and street raced on weekends.

Two years ago at the Dream Cruise Randy told me one of his favorite racing stories while driving that car back in the '70's which was how he got two drag racing tickets - on the same weekend!

On a Saturday night, after receiving a big fat drag racing ticket the night before, once again he was pulled over for drag racing. This time he figured it wouldn't hurt to try some logic that might appeal to the cops good nature. He pulled Friday's ticket out of the center console for a failed attempt to explain just how unjust his situation was. Unfortunately getting two tickets in two nights doesn't help your case - or make a cop feel sorry for you. Randy told me these exact words "I told the cop I already got one of those last night". The cop said "that should have taught you a lesson".

That was just one of the great stories he told me about driving the 500 back in those days... He was a great guy.

My condolences to all and yet another reminder to all to do the things you love to do while you still can. It's coming for all of us.

RIP Randy. You will be missed.
