Randy was a great, great, friend I first met at Indiana State University. We came from the same county, but different schools. Me from North Putnam H.S., and Randy from South Putnam H.S.. But the greatest gift he gave me was introducing me to my wife Pam of 39 years. They were next door neighbors, and when Randy and I went bowling together back in Greencastle, Indiana, she came along too. It was love at first site. Randy was my Best Man at our wedding. I will never forget the fun times we had together. I am sorry we didn't keep in touch all these years. We could have reminisced about the good times, and had a shoulder to lean on during the hard times. But I know I'll see you again when we're in Our Father's loving arms in heaven. My sincere sympathy and condolences go out to your family and loved ones. God bless you Randy, with prayers of comfort and support for your family. Gregory L. Miller Sullivan, IN
