I had the great pleasure to meet Randy a few times at woodward and at the SCS Harper Cruise. I can only say "WHAT A HECK OF A GUY"!!!!! I had mentioned that I travel to Mexico alot for work and every once in a while he would hit me on the PM and ask if all was good with me. From a guy that was battleing with his own stuff, just to ask me that speaks Infinity on how grat a person he IS, not was. There is alot to be learned from guys like Randy. All the blessings in the world to Randy and his family, from mine. And yes I have to read this from Mexico.. Scot B. aka Kiddart
Thank you Kiddart

Very sad for all of you who knew him, and for all of us who did not have that pleasure.

Crap this sucks, I just got back from Florida and this is the first post I read.... RIP buddy Randy was one of the best guys I knew. I can't believe this, I thought he'd whip the big C's a$$... First met Randy on Woodward, I bet we raced 5 times that day before hooking up at the Donut Cutter and meeting for real. Every time we'd cross paths after that we'd have a go and laugh like hell afterwards, loved that guy! Don't have any pics of him but here's his "X" at one of our small Hines Drive cruises we used to do.

Honored to have been able to hang with him at Lapeer, watch him race, have him come to Milan and hang while I raced, to talk with him, he reached out when my father passed, he reached out when I had my surgery 3 months later... a little note here or there, always, How are you? it amazed me that he would tell me about his treatments and how things were for him, but he always was more concerned about, How are you?
I will miss him greatly. Although its sad we lost a great man, I am thankful he is no longer in pain and is at rest.
Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened.
God speed Randy, til we see you again.
