Sincerest sympathies to Eileen, their children, grandchildren and families. He was a quiet, thoughtful man; but put everything into coaching the Little League kids! I first met Randy in high school (class of 1964) and then married his cousin a couple of years later. Who knows: They may well be tending gardens in Paradise now, with perfect vision!
